Teachers Law Change Opposed by Frederick County Teachers
The Executive and Legislative committees of the Frederick County Teachers Association unanimously oppose a proposed bill to expand the Board of Education from six to eight members and shorten terms from six to four years.

The notice notes the board’s influence on facilities, salaries, and programs and argues for seven members serving seven-year terms as a model.
