The Board of Education will hold a public hearing on the topic Tuesday, September 11 at 7 p.m. Individuals may pre-register online through 4 p.m., Friday, September 7. Any groups wishing to testify are asked to register by calling the Board office at 410-313-7194. Members of the public also may email the Board to provide feedback on these options.
