Tiny Aleph Bet Jewish Day School does not have a library, art room or science lab. School officials affectionately refer to the fifth-graders' classroom trailer as the "learning cottage."

"As loving, as wonderful [as this school is], look who you are competing against," said Cheryl Krushat, a trustee. "People are attracted to modern facilities." As Anne Arundel County's sole Jewish school marks 18 years - a milestone number in the religion - the board of trustees has decided it's time to make Aleph Bet more modern.

Until Aug. 21, few people - including state lawmakers and longtime attorneys - had ever given much thought to the Office of the Public Defender Board of Trustees or even knew it existed. But that day, the three-member panel fired the state's chief public defender, Nancy S. Forster, a decision that thrust it into the spotlight and made it an immediate target of reform. This month, a Senate committee in Annapolis will consider how to reshape the governor-appointed board. Lawmakers and national experts say the board's small size leaves it vulnerable to political whims, from which defenders of the poor are supposed to be shielded.
