CHS Junior Appointed to Board of Education Role
Students now have their own seat at the table with the Board of Education.
CHS Junior Kyla G. was approved on Thursday night for an ex officio role on the board.
She officially will take her post at July’s Board of Education meeting and serve through June 30, 2026.
New York State recently required that all school boards add at least one student as an ex officio member.
Although they do not vote and do not attend executive sessions or any other meeting that is not open to the public, student board members can be assets to any school board. In general, their presence tends to strengthen the work of school boards by fostering more inclusive decision-making processes.
“I’m really excited to share the students’ perspective on a lot of different things that go on in the district,” Kyla said. “The Board of Education is something that’s super-important.”
