Anne Arundel County School Board Member Appointed

EDGEWATER-DAVIDSONVILLE, MD - From Anne Arundel County Public Schools: The School Board Appointment Commission of Anne Arundel County tonight appointed Colin Reinhard of Linthicum to fill the vacant at-large seat on the Board of Education of Anne Arundel County. Mr. Reinhard will assume his seat as soon as he can be sworn in by the Clerk of the Circuit Court’s office.

Twenty-three candidates originally applied for the seat, though one candidate withdrew shortly afterward. The Commission interviewed the remaining 22 candidates over a series of four nights last month.

“I am very proud of the work everyone on this Commission has done since we first met in June to arrive at this selection this evening,” Commission Chairman Susannah Kipke said. “We strived to make this process completely transparent and very thorough, and I think we accomplished that. I believe my colleagues and I have served the citizens of our county and most especially our school system well, and I wish Mr. Reinhard the best in his work on the Board.”

Mr. Reinhard’s term will expire on December 2, 2018, as the Board begins its transition to a fully elected Board.
