The Grand Ledge Public Schools Board of Education on April 22 signaled support for forming a Student Advisory Committee and asked Superintendent Bill Barnes to collaborate with the Governance Committee to develop a formal proposal for future board consideration.

Board members discussed the role of a student advisory or student board member in helping trustees understand student perspectives. Superintendent Bill Barnes said he will work with the Governance Committee to move the item forward and bring a recommended structure back to the full board.

The move is procedural: the board made no formal vote at the retreat. The Governance Committee will prepare details about membership, responsibilities and how the advisory body would interact with regular board meetings before any final action is taken.
