Area Wide Student Council
Area Wide Student Council (AWSC) grades 8-12 (we have had younger grades participate as well). Please share with your students and encourage them to join. This is a student advisory board that reports to the YKSD School Board. AWSC was established by students in 2009 to try and revive Student Government within our district. What we look for are 1or 2 student representatives from each site to represent your school and attend monthly video conference meetings. At these meetings, students share site updates, concerns, ideas or even plan events. This is a great leadership opportunity. Monthly meetings take place over VTC on Tuesdays at lunch, 12:00pm: September 20, October 4, November 4, December 6, January 10, February 7, March 7, April 4, May 2
Important dates
September 14- AWSC student nominations due, the form is attached, students can run in the following ways.
1. You can nominate a student, student can nominate another student, or they can nominate themselves.
2. Some sites elect to have their own student council elections, in that case, 2 of your site elected officers will serve as your site representatives on the AWSC meetings monthly.
September 20- First general meeting, members will be introduced. AWSC will have reorganization of the Board and determine the FY22 Student School Board President.
Additional virtual leadership opportunities for students
This is a great leadership opportunity for your students, and good to put on their academic resume. If you have additional questions, please let me know.
