Student board member Owen Brennan thanks board, urges continued support for student voice
Summary
Owen Brennan, the student ex‑officio board member, reflected on his year, credited district staff and teachers for his development, and asked the board to continue supporting the student representative role; the board honored outgoing student rep Aaliyah Jordan.
Student ex‑officio board member Owen Brennan used his June 24 remarks to reflect on his year on the Ossining Union Free School District board, describing the role as an educational opportunity that expanded his understanding of governance and policy.
Brennan said serving on the board helped in his college preparation, allowed him to give back to the community where he grew up and increased his appreciation for the district’s governance processes. He urged the board to continue supporting the student representative role so future students can similarly learn and contribute.
The board presented an appreciation award to outgoing student ex‑officio Aaliyah Jordan and invited photos. Jordan told the board her experience had been meaningful and credited the role with providing a platform to communicate student perspectives to district leaders.
Board members praised both students for their service and noted the visible presence of student voice at the table as a continuing district priority.
