Baltimore County School Board Nominating Commission members at odds about how to fill vacant board seat

Some members of the Baltimore County School Board Nominating Commission say the organization has “deviated” from its intended role of presenting eligible candidates to help lead the school system. At a news conference Thursday morning, members Eugene Clark and Marietta English said that the commission’s three officers did not follow policy in deciding which applicants get the opportunity to be interviewed and thus submitted to Gov. Wes Moore for potential appointment to the Baltimore County Public Schools Board of Education. Cindy Sexton, chair of the nominating commission, said policy was followed.
