Board of Dire
Students On Governing Boards
The Lake Chelan School District Board of Directors recognizes the value of student
representation on the school board so that student voice and input is included in the board’s
work. The school district will annually seat three student representatives (two from CHS and 1
from CSI). With assistance from administration, student representatives will communicate with
other district students to receive their input and perspectives quarterly.
Student representatives on the board are expected to attend the first board meeting of each
month. The student members will contribute to board discussion by providing student insight
and perspective, serve as a liaison for the associated student body, and report to students
about the work of the board and district activities. Student representatives will not attend
executive sessions, make motions, or hold board offices. Student representatives provide the
board with advisory votes on action items as follows: immediately before the board votes on an
agenda item, the student board representatives will provide their advisory vote – whether yay,
nay, or abstain.

fulfill their responsibilities. In the event a vacancy arises prior to the expiration of the term, an alternate
from the same school will be appointed by the school to fill the vacancy.
