We're Looking for a Western WA Student Board Member
The Association of Washington Student Leaders and the State Board of Education are seeking a current high school sophomore from western Washington to serve a two-year term as the student representative to the State Board of Education (SBE) and the AWSL Student Voice Network. We need a student who can communicate effectively, listen, observe, and provide input on educational policy issues in Washington State.
The Board alternates recruitment for student members between the east- and west-sides of Washington each year. This student will fill the position currently held by graduating senior, Pavan Venkatakrishnan (Bellevue). Current junior, Donalda Brantley (Spokane), will become the senior student representative next year. Pavan is a member of the Executive Committee on the Board, has testified for legislation impacting students (video linked below), and has done interviews with the media.
Applications are due Friday, March 31.
