Student representatives say they feel “included and valued,” ask board for clearer guidance on outreach
Summary
Student School Board Representatives Ryan Massmann and Madeline Ramler told the board they feel included overall, praised athletic "send‑offs," and requested more visibility for non‑athletic clubs and clearer direction from the board about issues to raise with peers.
Ryan Massmann and Madeline Ramler, the district’s Student School Board Representatives, told the board they “feel included and valued,” highlighting the student‑athlete "send‑offs" as a positive tradition.
Both representatives said there is room to better highlight non‑athletic extracurriculars and to provide students with clearer information about available clubs and what participation entails. The students also asked for more specific direction or suggestions from the board about topics they should explore with the student body.
Board member Mr. Okerlund asked whether the students felt included in activities; Massmann and Ramler responded affirmatively and emphasized their appreciation for the representative role as a learning opportunity about district decision‑making. The report concludes with the students’ request that the board consider concrete ways to increase awareness of lesser‑publicized activities.
