Expands student member rights to include proposing agenda items and amendments, delivering required student reports at each regularly scheduled board meeting, and communicating student concerns submitted in writing

Sets attendance requirements where missing 3 consecutive or 4 total regularly scheduled monthly meetings without justified cause (illness or academic obligations) results in vacancy and triggers a new election within 21 days

Creates a penalty system for school personnel who interfere with student member elections or suppress their rights, escalating from a warning to disciplinary action to state board involvement with fines up to $1,000 per violation

Requires student members to serve one academic year terms without pay, be in good academic and behavioral standing, and not graduate during the term; prohibits schools from depriving eligible students of the opportunity to run
