Students On Governing Boards
The Meridian Board of Directors recognizes the value of student representation on the school board so that student voice and input is included in the board’s work. The school district will annually seat two student representatives. Student representatives will communicate with other district students and receive their input and perspectives.
Student representatives on the board are expected to attend all board meetings. The student members will contribute to board discussion by providing student insight and perspective, serve as a liaison for the associated student body, and report to students about the work of the board and district activities. Student representatives will not attend executive sessions or hold board offices. Student representatives provide the board with advisory votes on agenda items as follows. Immediately before the board votes on an agenda item, the student board representatives will provide their advisory vote – whether pro, con, or abstain.
