Students push for voting rights on school councils
In a recent government meeting, discussions highlighted the inclusion of student voices in school governance, particularly at the secondary level. A proposal was introduced to allow students to serve as voting members on school site councils, moving beyond their traditional advisory roles. This initiative aims to empower students, especially those of reproductive age, to have a say in their educational environment, aligning with state code that supports such representation.

The conversation also touched on the positive changes at Graham School, with community members expressing gratitude for the new administrative team led by Principal Benavides and Vice Principal Koons. Their efforts in fostering communication and engagement with parents were praised, marking a significant turnaround for the school. Additionally, the principal's podcast on co-teaching practices was highlighted as a valuable resource for educators and parents alike.

The meeting underscored a commitment to enhancing student participation in decision-making processes and recognizing the importance of effective school leadership in creating a supportive educational atmosphere. Further developments on the student council proposal are expected in upcoming communications.
