Student Representative to be Elected to Board of Education

A message from New Haven Public Schools: 

At this time, we are asking for each high school to identify a Student Election Representative.  This individual can be any staff member in your school, regardless of their affiliation with student council, and will be my primary contact and an in-house resource for information regarding the elections. Please send me the name of your school’s Student Election Representative as soon as possible, so I can schedule a preliminary meeting with them to answer frequently asked questions.

I look forward to working with all of you, as we celebrate the power of student voice and student engagement in School Change.  As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.  I have included some highlights from the attached documents below.
