-- State School Superintendent-elect Richard Woods is accepting applications
for the 2015 Student Advisory Council.
The
members of the Student Advisory Council meet three times during the school year with the State
School Superintendent to discuss how decisions made at the state level are
affecting students throughout Georgia. Members are advisers and act as liaisons between the Department of Education and
the students of Georgia. Superintendent-elect Woods will be conducting the
meetings, which will also feature various DOE personnel providing further
information.
"Meeting
with students and getting their advice will be a top priority of mine as State
School Superintendent," said Superintendent-elect Woods. "I am
committed to making decisions that are in the best interests of our students,
and hearing from them directly is how I can ensure that happens.”
All
students in grades 7-12 are eligible to apply. Meetings will be held in February,
March and early May (dates are subject to change). Applicants should be able to
attend all meetings.
To be
eligible for the Council, applications must be received by Friday, January
16, 2015.
