Students tell stakeholder group their voice "matters" in planning session
Summary
Multiple student participants told the stakeholder meeting that students live in the system and that including their perspectives will make a meaningful difference in the district’s five-year planning process.
Several student participants and other stakeholders emphasized the importance of including student perspectives in the district’s five-year planning work. "Students are transparent. They're not afraid to give their opinion, and their voice at the table matters," one meeting participant said, urging that student experience be a central input to the planning process.
Another participant described surprise and appreciation that the group sought their opinions: "Actually having people want to hear my opinion and actually having people be like, okay. Well, do you wanna say something else? Like, being eager to hear. I'm like, woah." The participants said that combining student perspectives with stakeholder input and data-driven analysis "will make a huge impact and difference within our community." The session did not produce formal directives; participants described the comments as input for later analysis and agenda items.
