Board appoints Nathan Coe and Max Coepler as student representatives for 2025-26
Summary
The board appointed two student representatives for the 2025-26 school year after staff reported on the selection process and low application numbers at some schools.
The Lake Oswego School District board appointed Nathan Coe and Max Coepler as student representatives for the 2025-26 school year.
A staff member who led interviews described the selection process and candidate backgrounds. The staff member said one school's information session drew about 20 to 25 students but produced three applications and three interviews; at another school an information session drew one attendee and two applications. The presenter described Nathan Coe as “smart, kind, articulate” and active in speech and debate, band and student leadership, and described Max Coepler as “passionate” with activities including Model UN and volunteering.
Motion and outcome: A board member moved to appoint Nathan Coe and Max Coepler; the motion was seconded on the record and the board approved the appointments by voice vote.
Selection background: Presenters said the candidates were interviewed by staff and recommended by Lakers (high school) interview panels under the district's administrative procedures for student representatives. District staff said only a small number of students ultimately submitted applications despite outreach and information sessions.
The appointments will cover the 2025-26 school year; student representatives typically attend board meetings and provide student perspectives at board discussions.
