Howard County Education Board Member Christina Delmont-Small Stepping Down

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — Howard County Board of Education member Christina Delmont-Small will be stepping down from her position as a board of education member effective immediately.

Delmont-Small currently represents District 1 in Howard County and was elected to her first term in 2016. She has accepted a new job and will be focusing on her career.

“I am grateful for the time I have been able to serve the interests of our students, educators and families,” Delmont-Small said . “After dedicating many years to the stakeholders of the Howard County Public School System, and in close consultation with my family, I decided it was impossible to properly balance the many requirements of a board member while being able to commit my time and energy to my new job. I am appreciative for the collaboration of my past and present board colleagues over the years and for the close partnership the board has cultivated with Dr. Martirano.”

Prior to being elected to the board of education, Delmont-Small served on the executive boards of Howard County PTAs and filled leadership roles for the PTA Council of Howard County, including three terms on its board of directors in addition to three terms as PTACHC president.
