Policy 1250 - Student Representatives to the Board of Directors

The Richland School District Board of Directors (the Board) realizes the goal of public schools is to educate all students and seeks the input, feedback, and experience of students in the District. Therefore, the Board has created an advisory Board position for up to two Student Representatives enrolled in a Richland School District High School. The role of the student representative(s) will be: 

• Provide student insight and perspective to the Board and District administration and assist the Board in understanding student issues, 
• Serve as a liaison to the students in the district through the established student government and communication networks; and 
• Report to the students about the work of the school district and the Board. 

The Student Representative(s) will be bound by all applicable rules and regulations pertaining to the elected Board members as outlined in the policy. The Student Representative(s) will participate in Board discussion, but will not have the right to make motions, hold Board offices or attend Executive Sessions. However, student reps may make advisory votes.
