Baltimore County School Board Nominating Commission - Membership - Alterations

SB 98 modifies the membership of Baltimore County's School Board Nominating Commission to add three new representatives: one from the Greater Baltimore County Chamber of Commerce, one from AFSCME Local 3 (a public employee union), and one from the Citizens Advisory Council for Gifted and Talented Education. This increases the commission's total membership from 19 to 21 members, requiring the Governor and County Executive to appoint these new members per the updated rules. The bill also sets specific term expiration dates for certain existing members, with some terms ending in 2028 and others in 2030. The changes directly affect how school board members are selected by expanding the range of community stakeholders represented on the nominating body. The bill takes effect October 1, 2026.
