Board of county commissioners must appoint one nonvoting pupil trustee to each county school district board of trustees, nominated by students enrolled in public middle schools, junior high schools, and high schools through a majority vote process

Pupil trustee must be a county resident enrolled full-time in grade 11 or 12 at a public high school, serving a 1-year term with required attendance at 75% of board meetings

Pupil trustee receives the same rights as voting members including attending all meetings, briefings, closed-door sessions, and receiving all meeting materials, plus the right to express opinions before any board vote

Districts with 50,000+ students use a convention system where each election district nominates two student representatives who then select two finalists for a district-wide student vote

Board composition increases by one member across all district sizes (from 5/7/11 to 6/8/12 members) to accommodate the new nonvoting pupil trustee position
