Voter and candidate information
As of the 2014 election, the Anne Arundel County Board of Education was composed of nine members: eight adult registered voters of the county and one student representative. The eight adult members were appointed by the Governor of Maryland to five-year terms; however, these members were subject to retention elections at the general election following their first full year of service.[5]
Five of the gubernatorial appointees had to be from one of the five legislative districts that covered Anne Arundel County: Districts 30, 31, 32, 33, and 21. The other three adult members were appointed at-large.[5]
The ninth member of the board was a student representative. School boards across the country often include a student representative, but usually only in an advisory, nonvoting capacity. Anne Arudel's student member was uncommon in that the student had the same voting rights and privileges as other board members.[5]
The student member is elected to a one-year term by the Chesapeake Regional Association of Student Councils (CRASC) and must be confirmed by the governor. The term begins on July 1 following election and confirmation and continues until a successor is qualified.[5]
