Speak Out: What Quality is Most Important for BoE?

Prince George's County officials are seeking four more Board of Ed. candidates. What do you want to see out of them?

Prince George's County elected leaders are looking for a few good board of education candidates, four to be exact, to fill new seats created by the recent restructuring of the county school's administration. 

Now, the county executive will be able to appoint three members to the board, while the Prince George's County Council will be able to appoint a single member to the board. 

According to the restructuring law, signed by Gov. Martin O'Malley earlier this month, the candidates must have experience in either education, higher education, business, or organizational management.
