Bonduel board asks staff to develop student‑representative program for board and committees
Summary
The Board voted unanimously to pursue a student‑representative program after staff described examples from the Connect Communities conference; staff will return program details to the Committee of the Whole in September.
Board members agreed to move forward with exploring a student representative position to involve high school students in local government. Jesse Rankin and Clerk Michelle Maroszek described the idea—drawn from the Connect Communities conference—and said other communities had seen success with student representatives on boards and committees.
Trustee Michelle Streetman moved and Kay Zuleger seconded a motion to proceed with gathering information and to bring program details to the Committee of the Whole meeting in September. The motion carried unanimously. The minutes note the Village’s strengthened relationship with the school district following the addition of a School Resource Officer and see a student representative as a potential area of collaboration.
No program details, eligibility criteria or voting rights for a student representative were set; staff will present a formal proposal to the Committee of the Whole in September.
