Calling all student leaders
Voting for the next ASCBC members and Student Commissioner will begin in November!
Encourage every student leader you know to apply as a candidate now. The deadline to apply is September 18!
The Associated Student Congress of Baltimore City (ASCBC) is Baltimore’s elected student government, and the Student Commissioner is the student who sits on the School Board. They have a say in City Schools policy (rules for all schools), the City Schools budget, and more.
