Board discusses bringing back student representatives and a board liaison
Summary
Superintendent Ingrid Colvard proposed reintroducing student representatives, suggesting a junior-level applicant and a board liaison to prepare students; Lisa Birney volunteered to review the application and the board targeted the start of the school year to begin the process.
The board discussed reinstating student representatives at its July 23 meeting. Superintendent Ingrid Colvard recommended recruiting a junior-level student for continuity and suggested a board liaison to help prepare the student; she said WSSDA has materials on student voice and proposed that Teresa Burns could encourage student ownership of learning.
Lisa Birney offered to review the previous application form and said she would circulate it to the board. Colvard said the beginning of the school year would be the ideal timing to bring students back to meetings. "Student voice is important at our meetings," she said, and the board asked staff to return with an application and a plan for outreach.
