PHILADELPHIA, April 4, 2022— The Board of Education invites rising juniors and seniors to bring student voice to the Board by applying to become a Student Board Representative for the 2022-2023 school year. Interested Philadelphia public and charter school students may apply online between April 4, 2022, and May 20, 2022.
“Serving as a Student Board Representative has given me the opportunity to network and collaborate with other students and organizations that are passionate about uplifting student voices,” said Rebecca Allen, Student Board Representative. “It has been an incredible honor to advocate for students and uplift student voices in discussions where other students may not have had the opportunity to engage.”
While Student Board Representatives do not vote, they serve in an advisory role to represent their peers on the Board of Education. For instance, they voice student concerns with the Board at monthly meetings and report Board deliberations and actions to the student body. They also meet with student groups, initiate important work, such as registering student voters and have participated in this year’s search for a new superintendent.
“Serving as a Student Board Representative is a great opportunity for students to represent their peers and make a positive impact on the public school experience of students throughout the city,” said Board President Joyce S. Wilkerson. “I encourage all qualified students to apply for this leadership role in the School District of Philadelphia.”
