What it does

This bill provides for boards of directors of school districts to include nonvoting student representatives. The bill requires the board of directors of each school district to appoint at least one nonvoting student representative to serve on the board for a term of one year if the student is enrolled in grade or for a term of two years if the student is enrolled in grade 10. The bill also requires the board to develop an application and selection process for the nonvoting student representative that is based on a model program the bill requires the director of the department of education to develop.
