MC 12-10 Passes the House Delegation!

Today, the Montgomery County House Delegation of the Maryland General Assembly voted to pass MC 12-10, the bill to expand the SMOB's vote in Montgomery County. If this bill passes, your student elected representative will be able to vote on the budget, boundaries, etc. This is a historic step in making sure that the student voice is heard throughout the county and the state!

Yesterday, in the County Affairs Committee, the final vote was 7-1 (Voting List). When the full House Delegation voted on it today, the vote came out to 19-1-1 (Voting List). The next step will be for this bill to pass through the Senate Delegation sometime in the next couple of weeks. I will keep you up to date on the latest news of this bill as it happens. In the mean time, contact your Senators and tell them how important you think it is for your representative to have equal representation on the Board of Education!
