Student Voice Council<\/em><\/strong>:    – Action requested –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are beginning recruitment for 26-27 Student Voice Council representatives.  As you’re aware, this group has an impactful seat at the district leadership table<\/strong>, so ensuring great representation for your school (and feeder schools) is important! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good news: we have a very stable group who will continue next year, so we are only filling a few spots, primarily of graduating seniors.  We need to fill the following seats:  1 for BSHS, 1-2 for DRHS, 2-3 for CHS, 2 for LPHS, 4 for MVHS, 3 for SHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes a good candidate?<\/strong>  A student who is consistent, collaborative, and creative, and has something to say about school.  As always, we are looking for diversity of identities, academic profiles (i.e. we don’t only need 4.0 students), and experiences in or out of school.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current SVC members will help recruit, but we need staff engagement also!  Current 8<\/strong>th<\/strong><\/sup> – 11<\/strong>th<\/strong><\/sup> graders<\/strong> are welcome to apply, and we’d love middle and high school administrators, counselors, specialists, club advisors, campus monitors, and others with student connections to help recommend students and encourage them <\/strong>to apply<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong>  Thanks for sharing this with your staff and school community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
