Summary
Student representative Kaylene DeRose told the State Board about the New Jersey Association of Student Councils’ Leadership Training Conference, noting 205 delegates from over 50 schools and growth in public-speaking and teamwork skills.
Kaylene DeRose, the board's student representative and a rising junior at East Brunswick High School, described participating in the New Jersey Association of Student Councils’ Leadership Training Conference (LTC). DeRose said LTC hosted 205 delegates from more than 50 schools and offered workshops on public speaking, project planning and time management that helped students strengthen leadership and collaboration skills.
DeRose described specific activities—team challenges, NJ trivia, and carnival-style leadership events—where delegates practiced teamwork and public presentation. The student representative said LTC celebrated its 70th year at the College of New Jersey and highlighted the state theme, "NJ is United: Understanding needs, inspiring talents, empowering dreams." Board members thanked DeRose for the report and noted they appreciated examples of student learning during the summer program.
The student report was an informational item; no board action was required.
