County Boards of Education and Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners - Vacancy Procedures - Alterations

Summary

The bill requires that if a vacancy on a county board of education or the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners occurs 55 days or more before the primary filing deadline, the seat must be filled by election at the next general election. If the vacancy occurs 54 days or fewer before that deadline and no qualified candidate is on the ballot, the remaining board members must select a replacement through a public process that includes advertising, resume review, livestreamed interviews, and a public vote. Appointed‑member vacancies must be filled within 60 days using the board’s existing appointment method.
