State Student Advisory Council Report

To:Board of Elementary and Secondary Education
From:Mitchell D. Chester, Ed.D., Commissioner
Date:June 12, 2009

line

At the upcoming Board of Elementary and Secondary Education meeting, A.J. Fajnzylber will provide an overview of the final report of the work of the 2008/9 State Student Advisory Council. The report combines the work of AJ's peers on the State Student Advisory Council as well as the work of many other committed students from around the state that serve on the regional student advisory councils.

The students offer ideas on curriculum, fundraising, student rights and responsibilities, peer leadership, school climate/environment, environmental friendliness, and classroom seating arrangements. This work of the council reflects not only the students serving on the councils but the concerns and ideals of the students they represent.

Additionally, a few of the projects from the regional councils were included in this report as well as elaboration on the idea for expansion of the SAC model, or the National Association of Student Advisory Councils.

Full copies of the final report will be distributed to Board members at the June meeting.
