[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SOURCE: https://moco360.media/2024/04/17/praneel-suvarna-elected-the-47th-student-member-of-the-board-of-education/ [QUOTE]Clarksburg High School junior Praneel Suvarna was elected as the next Student Member of the Board of Education (SMOB) after more than 58,927 Montgomery County Public Schools middle and high school students cast ballots on Wednesday. Suvarna ran against Montgomery Blair High School junior Sam Ross. Suvarna received 53% of the vote and Ross received 47%, according to an MCPS press release. The SMOB is a voting member of the district’s Board of Education. Montgomery County is one of two counties in the state to give its SMOB full voting rights on the school board. The position is unpaid but does receive a $5,000 college scholarship, student service learning hours and one honors-level social studies credit, according to the MCPS website.[/QUOTE] Congratulations to Praneel! Surprised no one posted about this yet since the news broke yesterday. To clarify, the current SMOB, Sami Saeed, will still be active in his role until June 30. So Praneel will be SMOB elect for a few months until his term starts in July. One thing I do like about MCPS is that we have student member of the board who has full voting rights.[/quote] And never does anything. $10K easy money[/quote] Exactly! And based on past SMOB’s they get a golden ticket to an IVY league college.[/quote] Or could it be that past SMOBs were highly qualified to get into an ivy and this position is just another thing to include on their application?[/quote]
