Board previews advisory student‑board member policy; selection, non‑voting role and orientation planned
Summary
The board previewed a draft policy to add one advisory, non‑voting student member from each campus (East, West, PMSA), selected by student councils for one‑year terms; students would not attend closed sessions and would receive orientation and a school liaison.
Board staff previewed a draft policy to add advisory, non‑voting student board members from each of the district’s high schools.
Staff said the policy would designate one student from each school (Proviso East, Proviso West and the Math and Science Academy) to serve a one‑year advisory term; the students would be selected by their school student councils and would not attend closed sessions or receive confidential materials. Staff described orientation and a liaison relationship to support student members and said candidates would be juniors or seniors in good standing. The policy will be drafted for inclusion in the November board book.
The board did not act on the policy at this meeting; staff said legal review is underway to confirm alignment with the school code and best practices and that a formal draft will be circulated to the board before November.
