[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the one who said student reps were largely ornamental. I am not associated with Miranda at all. Part of no camp.

I do think it's a gimmicky idea from the 22 year old. He's basically campaigning on youth because that's all he's got.[/quote]

It's definitely not a gimmicky idea. Fairfax has had student reps for 20 years I think and Alexandria City most definitely has had them for years. It's kind of shocking that Arlington does not.

Does Fairfax have a student advisory board with reps from each school that the chair meets with monthly? Or do they just have the rep? Maybe different places do things differently? [/quote]

IDK answer to your question. NP, just want to comment that I think the student advisory board APS has is a much better thing than having a student rep on the SB. More students have a direct voice through the advisory board, more schools are represented. If they want to appoint someone from the advisory board to represent the board at SB meetings, I think that would be a good additional thing to do. That student could "remind" the Board of any points on issues that come up during the meeting, serve as a visible reminder of the students and their positions, make students more visible to the community as well.

I didn't know about student advisory board. I like the idea. Would be good to hear from them more often.  Indifferent about non-voting member because it seems more performative than a value add. What teenager wants to sit through 2-4 hour SB meetings every other week? [/quote]
