What’s in it
AI summary School boards can now choose students to serve as liaisons between the board and the rest of the school. These students can attend regular meetings and see non-confidential materials, but they cannot vote or attend meetings about student or teacher discipline. The board must create a way for students to apply and is required to pick at least one person who meets their requirements.1
Read the official explanation
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. The student liaison may perform functions of benefit to the students and the district that the board deems appropriate for a student to carry out. The bill prohibits the student liaison from participating in special meetings of the board, being involved in board meetings related to employee or student discipline, or having access to documents involving employee or student discipline.
