[5] In December 2019,Pasteur challenged incumbent board chair Kathleen Causey in the election for chair of the Baltimore County School Board. Pasteur received six votes for the chair position,while Causey received five. Despite this,Causey continued to serve as the board's chair,as board policy requires a candidate to receive seven votes to become chair. [6] In December 2021,the school board selected Pasteur to serve as its vice chair. [7]

In 2012,the Maryland State Department of Education opened an investigation into Randallstown High School,where Pasteur was a principal at the time of the investigation,after two anonymous sources reported cheating on state testing. A confidential report obtained by Project Baltimore in May 2020 found "improbable gains" on the state assessments of sixteen students at the school,resulting in two school employees being banned from future state assessments. Pasteur says in the report that she was "unaware of any testing improprieties",but two witnesses told state investigators that she was aware of the cheating. [18] Pasteur announced her retirement weeks after Randallstown High School was reported for allegedly cheating on state testing,and she officially left the school weeks before the results of the investigation were released. [19] Pasteur responded to the Project Baltimore report in a radio interview in June 2020,confirming some of the reported details but denying that she was connected to the alleged cheating or that she retired to "slip out" of the investigation.
