Next-Generation Student Council Members Sought

  • {Frankfort, Kentucky}...The Kentucky Department of Education is looking for high school students in public schools to apply for a yearlong stint on the Next-Generation Student Council. The council is a new group formed by Kentucky Education Commissioner Terry Holliday in order to get feedback from students on critical issues facing schools and on how decisions made at the state level affect them. The group will meet with the commissioner and the Education Department staff both in-person and virtually. Applications can be found on the Education Department web site at http://bit.ly/uTkK76 and must be returned by November 30th. A committee will then choose 11 students in grades 10-12 to serve during the 2011-2012 school year.
