Project Description
Some K-12 school districts in the US allow for student representation on school boards. Little is known about the impact of this representation on students’ civic development or the impact of students’ voices on district policies. This summer research project aims to review the related literature on K-12 school governance, conduct interviews with participants of such programs, and begin analyzing qualitative data gained through these collection processes.
