Six Names Forwarded from 36 Applicants to Fill Three Openings on Blueprint Oversight Board

Six candidates were forwarded to the governor Wednesday to fill three openings on the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future Accountability and Implementation Board, the body that oversees the state’s multibillion-dollar education reform plan.

A Blueprint nominating committee chose David Harper, Joseph Manko, Contina Quick-McQueen, John Seelke, Joanna Tobin and Robin Werner from a field of 36 applicants looking to serve on the seven-member board. Gov. Wes Moore (D) has 30 days to choose the three board members, who will serve six-year terms.
