Student advisory board presents applied‑learning work and wins $10,000 grant
Summary
The HVHS Student and Adult Advisory Board presented its mission and activities to the committee and reported receipt of a $10,000 grant to support applied‑learning initiatives; the committee praised the students.
Students and staff from the Hoosac Valley High School Student and Adult Advisory Board (SAAB) presented to the school committee on Jan. 13, describing SAAB’s mission to create collaborative student‑staff partnerships and applied‑learning opportunities.
Kristen Palatt introduced Keith Wright and the student presenters. Committee members heard that SAAB had been the first group to use Greylock Glen following its opening and that the board recently received a $10,000 grant to support its work. Students discussed their experiences and vision for the school, and committee members thanked the presenters for what the minutes describe as an “impressive presentation.”
Why it matters: Student voice and applied‑learning initiatives can expand internship and partnership opportunities and feed into the district’s multi‑year improvement plan priorities around applied learning and community partnerships.
Next steps: Superintendent Dean will share the presentation with the committee for feedback ahead of future committee discussion and approval cycles.
