The Howard County Board of Education approved the meeting agenda and consent items by recorded roll-call votes, heard the student member's report and presented an athletics sportsmanship award to Hammond High School.
The Howard County Board of Education opened its May 20 meeting with roll call, approved the agenda and later approved consent items and restricted consent by recorded roll calls, and recognized Hammond High School with the annual sportsmanship award.
