STUDENT INVOLVEMENT IN SCHOOL
BOARD MEETINGS
Many students desire a stronger voice in the decisions
which affect them and their efforts to participate in such
decision-making are welcomed by the Board.
Because students have the right to acquire an education appropriate
to their interests and potential, they shall be permitted to assist in
developing regulations for student conduct which will help create an
educational climate conducive to the accomplishment of worthwhile
educational goals. The Board also views student participation in
school affairs as an extension of the educational process.
Students can be a resource for the improvement of the district
programs by participating in the development of policies and rules
affecting them and simultaneously gain educational experience.
To this end, the Board:
- Shall permit two duly chosen representatives of the high school
student body to sit with it during open meetings and take part as
non-voting participants. Procedures for the selection of these
student representatives shall be developed by the Student Council
and high school administrative staff, and shall have the advance
approval of the Board.
- Shall invite any student to attend its open meetings as an
observer and member of the public.
