Voting for Student Member of the Board of Education This Week
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) students will be able to vote for the next Student Member of the Board of Education (SMOB) this Thursday, April 22 and Friday, April 23.
Henry Kaye and Hana O’Looney are this year’s finalists for the position. Both candidates are juniors at Richard Montgomery High School.
Kaye is an eagle scout, varsity athlete and small business owner. Kaye began his campaign as he believes that it is incredibly difficult to get involved with student government at the county level.
“The incredibly high barrier to entry for county-wide advocacy has led to a lack of diversity and equitable representation for students in Montgomery County,” Kaye said. “This needs to change and it needs to change now.”
