Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!

Do Franklin Students Have An Interest In Our School Board?

You may have noticed that Whitnall School District has placed a student member, Joel Rathman, on its Board. I don’t know the background information behind this, whether the District took the initiative, or the students were behind it, but I congratulate Joel for taking an interest in the Board. Joel Rathman is a non-voting member of the Board. That means he’ll be involved in discussions that take place, and be allowed to give input on behalf of the student body.
I have news for you Franklin High School Students; if you may be interested in the possibility of having a member of your student body on the Franklin School Board, it could happen if you pursue it. But, you have had the opportunity to attend each and every School Board and Committee meeting all along. As a citizen of Franklin, you are allowed to comment at the beginning of each regular School Board meeting, also.
If there is a desire for a Franklin High School student representative on the Board, I suggest you begin by attending Board meetings on a regular basis and reporting back to your student government regarding how this Board is representing you. After all, you are why the Board is there in the first place. I'm sure the Board would love to see a student or two present at the meetings!
