County School Board Taking Applications for Citizen Advisory Committee

Anne Arundel County’s Board of Education is looking to fill four vacancies on the executive committee of its countywide Citizen Advisory Committee.

The 29-member panel gives input and advice on specific issues concerning education throughout the county, according to a news release. The panel consists of two representatives from each of the 12 high school clusters — one represents elementary schools and the other represents secondary schools. There are also two at-large representatives and three representatives appointed by other parent groups in the county.

Current openings include the elementary seat in the Meade cluster and secondary seats in the Annapolis, Northeast and Southern clusters.

More information and applications can be found online. The Board of Education must receive applications by the end of the business day on Friday, Nov. 7.

The board will appoint the representatives for the openings and announce them at next board meeting. Members of the Citizen Advisory Committee serve two-year terms and cannot serve more than two consecutive terms.
