Board discusses expanding student representative recruitment and support
Summary
Directors proposed revisions to the student representative selection process, including board outreach to students, PHTV outreach videos, a designated coordinator to support reps, and clearer application questions emphasizing peer advocacy and policy input.
Board members on April 16 discussed changes to the student representative selection and application process aimed at increasing diversity and consistent participation.
Director Dawn Watson proposed board members visit the high school, use PHTV outreach, and revise the application to emphasize a candidate's commitment to representing peers and availability. Director Nancy Castillo-McKinnis said a designated coordinator would help ensure student representatives receive the support they need, and Director Polly Farrimond suggested involving past student representatives in outreach materials.
Principal Kalin Cross welcomed board members' school visits to meet interested students. Directors did not adopt a formal policy at this meeting but asked staff to refine the application and outreach plan for a future agenda item.
