[quote=Anonymous]This is a bit of a s/o from the other thread. Is anyone (who has actual power) asking the students what is wrong with the existing system? I would think that the kids in high school who have grown up in PGCPS schools probably have a really good sense of what is and isn't working. Does anyone actively solicit input from the kids? They are stakeholders in this too. I'm not sure how this Baker takeover is going to play out, but he's at least putting some people on the board who are supposed to have some sort of background expertise that makes sense with being in a position of responsibility for educational decisions. I would be curious as to whether it would be helpful to get a voice for the students (not an adult speaking for them, but an actual high school student) on the board and maybe an actual PGCPS teacher (though perhaps that is a conflict of interest?). I don't have a good idea as to how they'd do that, maybe have each high school have a student rep that sits on a sort of student senate of sorts and then they elect one member to be the liaison to the board or something like that. My kids are very young still, so maybe something similar already happens, but I'm bothered by the seeming lack of input from students. The recaps of the board meetings seem to primarily be about infighting between the board members often about nothing directly related to the schools (misuse of credit cards by members for example).
