The Baltimore County Board of Education re-elected Lawrence E. Schmidt as its president and chose David Uhlfelder as its new vice president during its yearly election of officers on Tuesday.
“This is a very talented board, a very diverse board,” said Uhlfelder in a statement. “But what we all share is that we all believe that every child should have an excellent education.”
