What’s in it
AI summary School district boards must now pick at least one student to act as a link between the board and the rest of the school community. This student can attend all board meetings and see any non-confidential documents, though they do not get to vote. Each school district will create its own way to apply for and choose this student.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires the boards of directors of school districts to select at least one student to act as a liaison between the board, administrators, teachers, the student council, and the general student population. The student liaison must have a seat at the table of all board meetings and board subcommittee meetings in a nonvoting capacity; and have access to all nonconfidential board meeting materials. The board must develop and implement an application and selection process. 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.
