More Student Voice

Early on in the campaign I introduced the concept of having a student elected to sit on the Public School Board. The Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School, Aspen Heights and Glendale School Councils seemed enthusiastic about the concept. I am now delighted to read that both Dick Lemke and Bill Christie support this proposal. I am hopeful that with their support and the potential support of other Board members, electing a student to the Board will become a reality this term.

If elected I will advocate for a student trustee to attend Board meetings and add a student’s perspective to discussions. A student trustee will provide insights that Board members do not possess on contemporary issues relevant to students like cyber bullying and technology usage in schools.
