HF 2189: Authorizing the boards of directors of school districts to appoint student liaisons to the boards

What it does

This bill authorizes the boards of directors of school districts to select students to act as liaisons between the board, administrators, teachers, the student council, and the general student population. The board must develop and implement an application and selection process. If an applicant satisfies the application and selection process, the board is required to select at least one applicant to act as a student liaison. The student liaison must have a seat at the table of all regular meetings of the board and board subcommittee meetings in a nonvoting capacity and must also have access to all nonconfidential board meeting materials.
