Student board representative urges reconsideration of graduation heritage wear; reports student achievements and AI use in classrooms
Summary
Student board representative R.J. Del Rosario urged the Lindbergh School District board to reconsider restrictions on heritage wear at graduation and reported several student achievements and SBRA activities on May 15.
Student board representative R.J. Del Rosario delivered his final report at the May 15 Lindbergh School District Board meeting, urging the board to reconsider the district's policies on heritage wear during graduation and summarizing student council activities and achievements.
Del Rosario said the senior class of 2025 is graduating May 21 and called attention to the variety of post-graduation plans. He advised the board to "reconsider their policy on heritage wear, such as stoles during graduation," saying Lindbergh could allow certain heritage pieces with appropriate guidelines and cited neighboring districts Webster Groves and Kirkwood as examples.
Del Rosario also reported student achievements: sophomore Marlee Steiner was selected to the U19 United States national volleyball team and will train and compete in Canada; junior Marley Boss won second place in the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for Missouri's 2nd District and will have her work displayed in Congresswoman Ann Wagner's office. He summarized recent Student Board Representative Advisory (SBRA) meetings that addressed transition supports for eighth graders, digital literacy, and classroom uses of AI (examples included exploring topics in math and grading Spanish prompts).
Del Rosario did not present a formal proposal for immediate board action; his request that the board reconsider heritage-wear policy was presented as advisory. The board did not take action at the meeting on policy changes discussed in his report.
