Student board members report IASB conference takeaways: 'We are humans first'
Summary
Student board members James Wyatt, Abby and Evelyn summarized two sessions they attended at the Illinois Association of School Boards conference and told the board the principal takeaway was 'we are humans first.'
Student representatives on the Lockport Township High School District 205 board summarized their recent attendance at the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) conference during the Dec. 15 meeting.
James Wyatt said he, Abby and Evelyn attended two sessions they found valuable and shared key lessons with the full board; Wyatt relayed the student presenters’ central message: “we are humans first.” The student report occupied the main portion of the student board’s update for the brief and was presented as a learning and reflection exercise rather than a request for immediate policy change.
Board members later echoed that conference takeaways and other board members shared their own IASB insights, according to the meeting recap. No formal motions or votes were tied to the report.
The district did not provide session titles or presenter names beyond the student summaries during this brief report.
