Very recently the Washington Post published an
article about the Montgomery County Smob having power. But the Washington Post also mentioned that
"In Anne Arundel County, the student school board member can vote on everything — a power that county officials say is unique in the nation."
They aren't reporting on the failures of that system, in fact they are complimenting it. Then shouldn't this full voting rights also be applied in Montgomery County. Also, Patricia O’Neill, who has served on the Board of Education since 1998 said,
“My experience has been many students take it more seriously than some of the adults and come better prepared.”
A board member has obviously noticed that students who are elected to this board are dedicated and are very hard working members, so they should have the full voting rights other members have. Lets work together next year to pass this bill in the Senate and give the SMOB full voting rights!
