Student advisory highlights belonging, multilingual outreach and sets priorities for bond messaging
Summary
Student advisory members told the board they prioritized belonging, student voice and multilingual supports and suggested outreach tactics; the advisory also discussed using student networks to share information about the upcoming facilities bond.
Student members of the district advisory presented key findings from a district student advisory meeting and urged the board to prioritize belonging and multilingual supports in communications and planning.
A student presenter summarized feedback from 13 students across schools, saying the group emphasized outreach to new students through welcome events, buddy programs and tours to increase belonging. The students also urged more multilingual supports in announcements and suggested mentorship and recognition programs to highlight contributions that are not purely athletic.
The advisory discussed how to use student voice to amplify bond outreach: students could share factual information with families and help publicize community presentations. The presenter described next steps aimed at reducing initial awkwardness in meetings and preparing students with agendas and adviser support so they can offer more focused feedback.
Board members applauded the work and discussed potential next steps for incorporating student recommendations into school- and district-level communications ahead of facilities planning.
