The Washington Post‘s “Maryland Schools Insider” blog reports that UMBC’s David H. Murray ’14, economics, is running for a seat on the Prince George’s County Board of Education.
Murray has previously served as a member of the Maryland State Board of Education and educational liaison for former Councilman Tom Dernoga and Senator C. Anthony Muse. Murray told the Post that he entered the race because the “school system is not up to par. We are lagging behind our peers. You shouldn’t get a different level of education because you live in the side of Laurel that’s in Prince George’s, over the side that is in Howard or Anne Arundel counties.”
