HI SB2350

Proposes a constitutional amendment to Article X, Section 2 of the Hawaii Constitution to grant the student member of the Board of Education voting rights.

Mandates that the student Board of Education member be selected through a public election conducted by the Hawaii State Student Council rather than through appointment.

Aims to provide public secondary school students with greater empowerment and investment in determining their educational future by directly participating in the election process.

Committee finds that having an elected student member will give the Board of Education better insight into student perspectives on educational policy.
