Student Advisory Committee
 

We want to ensure that our students’ voices are being heard. This group will give students the opportunity to share their voice and their experiences as students of North Wasco County School District, working directly with the Superintendent.

 

Key Objectives:

  • Focus on various topics including, but not limited to, school community, curriculum, facilities, school safety, social justice, and opportunities for students.
  • Provide input on goals and strategies for key District initiatives.
  • Provide advice and recommendations about the decisions that the Superintendent and School Board make.
  • Be a part of creating future change for all students in our district.  

 

Selection Process: 

Students are NOT selected based on grades, school attendance, extra-curricular involvement, academic skills, or previous leadership experience. Students ARE selected based on a passion for making change, their unique perspective and voice, and their dedication to improving our schools and our district. All applications will need the building Principal's approval.

 

Committee Meetings:

Meetings will be held three times per year and will last one full school day. Students will have an excused absence from their normal schedule that day. Snacks, transportation, and interpretation (if needed) will be provided. The committee may be asked to attend up to two (2) School Board Meetings per year and brief the School Board on the Committee’s work and activities.

 

Committee Service:

Membership for the Student Advisory Committee will be one academic year, falling between September and the following June. Students may re-apply for consecutive years of service, but preference will be given to new applicants first.
