Nicholas Kanter, a student at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School and Jeffrey S. Wasilewski, the legislative committee chair of the State Student advisory Council to the state Board of Education both testified in favor of the bill. All of us can learn a good deal about schools and student's needs from these high school students. Nick Kanter told the Committee about his experiences as a non-voting school committee member. Jeff Wasilewski reminded the Committee that there is indeed a voting member on the state Board of Education. That member, elected by the State Student advisory Council, votes on the appointment of the Education Commissioner, curriculum, and all other matters to come before the Board of Education.
Students are the individuals most affected by the decisions of school committees.
