Anne Arundel County Board of Education - Member Compensation and Student Member Scholarship - Increase

HB 436 increases annual compensation for Anne Arundel County Board of Education members: the president’s pay rises from $17,000 to $25,000, the vice president’s from $16,000 to $24,000, and other members’ from $15,000 to $23,000. It also raises the scholarship for student board members completing a full term to $23,000 (up from $15,000) for terms beginning July 1, 2029, or later. The changes take effect October 1, 2026, and apply only to terms starting after that date, not retroactively. The bill modifies Maryland’s Education Article to implement these specific financial adjustments.
