The Anne Arundel County Board of Education on Wednesday elected Vice President Julie Hummer as president for the 2017-18 school year.

Board member Terry Gilleland, who represents District 32, was elected vice president. Hummer said she looks forward to working with him.

“He’s a dedicated board member, he’s always prepared and we work well together,” she said.
