Description

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — The Howard County Board of Education will transition to a hybrid board meeting format beginning with the March 11 meeting with some board members and staff participating in person while others continue participating remotely. During the public forum portion of the meeting, members of the public may continue to participate and speak virtually. Any speakers who want to attend and speak in person can do so at the March 11 meeting. In order to adhere to safety protocols, there will be limited space for people to attend and observe with capacity set for 16 public attendees. Once at the meeting, guests will check in at the front desk of the department of education meeting and follow signage into the boardroom while adhering to the guidelines and requirements for wearing masks and maintaining social distance. Those speaking at the public forum will have assigned seats and will be directed to the podium when public forum begins. If there is more than one in-person speaker, the podium will be sanitized between speakers. The deadline to sign up to participate in the March 11 public forums or to view the meeting in person is March 9. Contact Kathy Hanks via email at [email protected] to register.
