Student Advisory Committee conference set for March 6; board plans attendance and topic input
Summary
Board members discussed Student Advisory Committee (SAC) conference topics, agreed the event is March 6 (9 a.m.–2 p.m.), and volunteered to rotate attendance. Suggested SAC topics include the cell‑phone policy, grading, belonging/safety and student‑staff engagement.
Board members and staff at a Feb. 10 Camas School District workshop discussed logistics and topic suggestions for the Student Advisory Committee (SAC) leadership conference, scheduled for March 6 from about 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
John (board) said SAC co‑leads Akira and Jay requested topic ideas for the conference and that the committee would value board input. The meeting participants suggested cell‑phone policy, grading, student belonging and safety, and ways board members can meaningfully engage with students.
Board members offered to rotate attendance so multiple directors could meet SAC delegates during the one‑day event. Several members said attending a breakout session or meeting students informally during the conference would build cohesion between the board and SAC.
The group also used the discussion to confirm other calendar logistics: site visits were scheduled or being rescheduled (Prune Hill, Sky Ridge and Grass Valley on March 4; a makeup set for March 19 with Dorothy Fox, Hays and Liberty), and the board discussed possible dates for an upcoming Day on the Hill trip to meet legislators. Two tentative dates for the Day on the Hill were discussed; staff will follow up to finalize meetings and travel timing.
Board members asked staff to send calendar invites for SAC and to ensure SAC members see policy proposals — for example, the CAC cell‑phone recommendation — before the conference so students can weigh in. Staff said SAC had been surveyed about the cell‑phone issue but had not yet reviewed full policy language; presenters encouraged sharing policy drafts with SAC if timing allows.
No formal action resulted. Staff will circulate calendar invitations and follow up on travel scheduling and site‑visit conflicts.
