IX.B. New Student School Board Representative (Equity)
Description:
Student school board representatives serve as non-voting members who are advisors to, and meet and work with, the school board and administration in the formation and evaluation of policy and regulations in the operation of our school system. Student representatives attend and participate in all open meetings of the school board, including work sessions. Student school board representatives provide an important communication link with the student body, and by participation, obtain practical governmental experience.
See Policy 220, Student School Board Representatives for more information. Jace Forcelle served as the student school board representative during the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years. Jace graduates from high school this year and his term as the student school board representative ends in May. Applications for student school board representatives were due March 15. Interviews were conducted by the school board chairperson, school board vice-chairperson, superintendent, high school principal, and superintendent/school board executive assistant in April. The interview committee recommends that Ayoub Farah, a sophomore at OHS, serve as the student school board representative along with Erin Baker. Ayoub will serve as student representative during his junior and senior years. |
