KDE seeks to fill Next-Generation advisory council
Contact: Tammy Lane • First Posted: Tuesday, October 25, 2011
Students in grades 10-12 are invited to apply for membership in the Next-Generation Student Council, a new group formed by Kentucky Education Commissioner Terry Holliday.
The council will provide valuable feedback from Kentucky students and engage student leaders in learning by doing. The group will meet with the commissioner and Kentucky Department of Education staff, in person and virtually, to discuss how decisions made at the state level affect students throughout Kentucky and will provide feedback on critical issues impacting students and schools.
The Next-Generation Student Council seeks teenagers with refreshing ideas and thoughtful insight into how schools and student achievement can be improved. Students who represent the diverse academic, geographic, demographic and school-size variables are encouraged to apply.
Appointments to the council will be based on how well the applicants communicate their ideas and goals. Eleven students will serve from January through June 2012.
