The Chesapeake Regional Association of Student Councils (CRASC) announced on its Instagram and Twitter pages (@CRASC_Online) today that three 11th-grade students have been named finalists for the 2023-2024 student member on the Board of Education of Anne Arundel County.
The students, selected from a field of five applicants, are:
- Indu Bodala, Glen Burnie High School
- Eric Lin, Severna Park High School
- Taryn Reinhart, Annapolis High School
The Student Member on the Board of Education (SMOB) election is sponsored by CRASC. The student member is appointed by the Governor, serves a one-year term during their senior year of high school, and receives an $8,000 college scholarship. Anne Arundel’s student member is the only one in the nation on a local Board of Education with full voting rights.
The finalists will take part in a debate broadcast on AACPS’ YouTube channel at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 18, 2023.
CRASC delegates will vote for a candidate in late April.
