The 2026 General Assembly was unable to agree on how Baltimore County voters will pick their school board members in the future. It leaves up in the air how many school board members should be elected, and how to redraw their districts.
There are seven elected school board seats, their districts the same as the seven county council seats. But while the council is expanding to nine this year, the school board is unchanged.
There were dueling plans in the state legislature to deal with that. Neither is going to pass according to Del. Cathi Forbes, a Democrat who represents Towson.
