MD HB324

Each county board of education member must complete antibias training at least once during their term, effective July 1, 2025

Training for board members must be conducted separately from the existing biennial antibias training required for public school employees

County boards develop their own antibias training based on Maryland Department of Education guidelines, which address implicit bias, cultural awareness, and discrimination against racial, ethnic, and religious minorities

Training guidelines must be evidence-based and incorporate lessons from real incidents of discriminatory bullying, harassment, or intimidation reported in schools
