Board May Allow Student Members

The state Board of Education has moved a step closer to including student members for the first time in its 45-year history. A board committee voted unanimously Wednesday to recommend the addition of two student representatives_ either current students or recent high-school or college graduates — to the 22-member board under revisions to its bylaws. The full board is expected to consider the proposal Thursday. The board has spent several months studying the idea with assistance from the National Association of State Boards of Education, which is encouraging more states to open their education boards' membership to students. The proposal calls for the board to have the student representatives in place during the 2008-09 school year or sooner, if possible.
