2016
A dispute over the Howard County Board of Education's decision to renew the contract of Superintendent Renee Foose in February 2016 defined the race for three out of seven board seats. All three seats up for election in 2016 were held by board members who approved a four-year contract for Foose. The superintendent faced scrutiny from local groups and state officials over a perceived lack of transparency into district decisions. A swing of all three seats from incumbents to challengers interested in reforming board policies created a majority that does not favor Foose's proposals.
The general election was held on November 8, 2016. A primary election was held on April 26, 2016, with the top six vote recipients advancing to the general election. Incumbents Ann DeLacy, Ellen Flynn Giles, and Janet Siddiqui filed for re-election. They faced challengers Corey Andrews, Marcelino Bedolla, Kirsten Coombs, Vicky Cutroneo, Christina Delmont-Small, Mavis Ellis, Robert Wayne Miller, and Pravin Ponnuri in the primary. Siddiqui, Coombs, Cutroneo, Delmont-Small, Ellis, and Miller ran in the general election. The primary resulted in losses for DeLacy and Giles, opening board seats taken by opponents of Superintendent Foose in November 2016. Coombs, Delmont-Small, and Ellis won election with Siddiqui finishing in fourth place.[2]

Campaign themes
2016
Cutroneo's campaign website listed the following themes for 2016:
| “ |
Last summer marked the beginning of Vicky’s advocacy efforts and run-up to her decision to run for the Board of Education. Stories regarding the air quality at Glenwood Middle School and rumors of a cover-up at the Board of Education prompted Vicky into action. Using social media, testifying at public forums, contacting local elected officials, speaking to news outlets as well as connecting with other parents and teachers; Vicky was able to raise public awareness of a very important issue and force HCPSS to address these issues. Through her advocacy work, she was able to make valuable connections with other groups, most notably parents advocating for special education services and parents of children who were victims of bullying. Vicky’s efforts brought much needed attention to the lack of and deferral of maintenance projects in our school buildings. Through her tireless advocacy Vicky was able to capture the attention of Governor Larry Hogan who raised these issues during the Board of Public Works meeting in February 2016. Vicky Cutroneo will bring the same passion for advocacy and community engagement to the Board of Education and will work with all education stakeholders in helping the Howard County Public School System realize its full potential.[8] |
