The resolution is scheduled for a vote during the council's meeting at 7:30 p.m Monday in the George Howard Building at 3430 Courthouse Dr. in Ellicott City.
Kaufman Up for School Board
Howard County school board member Joshua M. Kaufman became the first candidate to enter the race for Board of Education -- but he certainly won't be the last.
Kaufman was appointed to the board by County Executive James N. Robey (D) in 2003 after Virginia W. Charles resigned.
"Continuity and experience are going to be very important, and I offer both of those things," he said.
Three of the five board seats will be up for grabs in November 2006. In addition, two new seats will be added, for a total of seven members. In 2004, nine candidates vied for two open spots on the board. Board members are elected at large and run nonpartisan.
Kaufman said he will begin campaigning in earnest and raising money early next year. He lives in Elkridge with his wife and two small sons, one of whom attends first grade at Rockburn Elementary School.
Terms for Chairman Courtney Watson and Vice Chairman Patricia S. Gordon also will be up next year. Gordon said this week that she does not plan to run again. Watson says she "hasn't ruled out anything." All five County Council seats will be on the ballot next year as well as the job of county executive.
