Ava thanked the board and shared her perspective of her experience as a student representative for the district school board.  She enjoyed two years as a student representative and had a suggestion for scheduling time during the school day each month for the student representatives to get together for collaboration on surveys, reports, and the opportunity to talk about subjects in more depth with a board member.

There was a question about student awareness of these board positions. Many students are not aware of these positions or what the board does. Ava talked about how she was able to advocate for the board with students.
