MCR has the unique opportunity, in partnership with
our Board of Education, to supervise the election of
the Student Member of the Board of Education (SMOB).
In Montgomery County, the student Board member must
win a spot on a final ballot, actively campaign and
be elected by the majority vote of students in middle
and high school. This unique opportunity in civic education
allows our secondary students to experience the power
of their vote. The student member on the Board of Education
is an elected public official, sworn in by the clerk
of the court.
The chief administrator and deputy
chief administrator (appointed by the MCR president),
conducts the business of the Special Elections Committee
in running the election procedures for the SMOB. All
high schools should have at least one student serving
on the committee. Middle schools are encouraged to have
a representative on the committee.
For more information, dates, and the opportunity to join this county committee, go to the Special Elections Committee web page.
