Board approves student representative program for 2025–26 school year
Summary
The board approved continuation of the student representative program for 2025–26 and discussed the role, training and possible expansion of student participation.
The Kaneland CUSD 302 Board of Education voted unanimously to continue the student representative program for the 2025–26 school year.
Administrators described the selection process and the role the student representative plays at board meetings: a senior from Kaneland High School active in student government or similar leadership provides regular updates and perspective on student experience. The board praised outgoing student representative Miss Slattery for her contributions; members noted she attended athletic events and other school activities and provided regular reports.
Administrators said they will open the application process later this week and will provide training for the selected student. Board members asked whether the term should be a full year or split between students; the prevailing view at the meeting favored a full-year appointment to allow the student time to learn the role. The motion to approve the program for 2025–26 passed on a roll-call vote 7-0.
