TOWSON, MD — Baltimore County Public Schools is accepting nominations for high school students to become members of the 2013-2014 Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council.
Charged with providing feedback on school system initiatives and sharing the views and concerns of fellow students, council members will meet quarterly with the superintendent and other members of his leadership team.
“For the past several years, BCPS has had an appointed student advisory group,” said Dance, “This year we want to expand this group to ensure even greater diversity. Our mission, as articulated in Blueprint 2.0, our new five-year plan, is to educate all students to be globally competitive. We need to hear a full range of their voices as we move this system forward.”
The council will be comprised of 15 high school students. Three each will be selected to represent each of the five geographical areas of the county (central, northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest). Nominees also will be evaluated on other factors, including grade levels and areas of interest.
Nomination forms – due back to BCPS by 4:45 p.m. on Monday, September 16 – are available on the BCPS website by clicking a link under the “What’s Happening” section on the home page. Nomination forms can also be requested by emailing mprumo@bcps.org or calling 410-887-8706. Part of the application process is to include a reference from the student’s principal. Students are welcome to nominate themselves.
Appointees will receive notification by Friday, September 20. The council meetings will be held at school system headquarters, 6901 Charles Street in Towson, from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m., on Thursday, September 26, 2013; Wednesday, December 11, 2013; Wednesday, March 12, 2014; and Wednesday, May 21, 2014.
