The Superintendent received a letter dated November 10, 2021, from student representative senior Cameron LeClair attached to a petition with over 500 signatures requesting that the PRJUSD Board of Trustees approve the inclusion of a student trustee on the Governing Board of the District. The student Leadership class and ASB recommend the ASB President be the Student Trustee. According to Education Code 35012, Section 2, at least one student shall be added to a school board if 10% of the high school student population petitions for that right. The attached Ed Code stipulates that the school board shall approve the inclusion of the student trustee within 60 days of receiving the petition. Ed Code 35012 also outlines that the student trustee would not attend, nor receive information for, closed session items and does not have any voting rights on items that come before the Board of Trustees. The District welcomes the addition of a student board member and applauds the goal of increased student participation in board discussions.
