Why is this so important?
-
Orchard Park is behind MOST school districts in the area on this decision.
-
Districts who have student representatives on their board have seen great success in communication between the student body, student government, the board, and administration
-
Students deserve to have their voices heard in their own educational environment. This proposition especially gives students a place at the table to share thoughts and ideas.
-
Many decisions made by the board impact students, so students should have input on those decisions!
