Background:
At the June Board of Education Meeting, a potential new policy was reviewed that would create a new Student Ambassador Program for the Board of Education. This new policy and program would fulfill the desire of the Board to increase student voice in Board governance and policy discussions. It would also provide an opportunity for students to learn more about the operation of the school district, and provide an avenue for student feedback and focus groups where appropriate. Based on feedback from the Board at the Meeting, a draft of the Policy 2:180 was on the July agenda. This agenda item was pulled and returned to the Board HR/Policy committee for discussion. The attached recommended policy was developed to support the recruitment and selection of Student Ambassadors. Administrators worked with our new High School Principals and the Board Policy Committee to solidify the Administrative Procedure so that the recruitment process can begin immediately following approval of the process. A draft of the Administrative Procedure has been attached. There has been no feedback received from the public.
