empowering students to make positive change
Overview
The idea of involving students in the governance and decision-making of the Pleasanton Unified School District (PUSD) is not new and not unprecedented . In fact, student voice is present on many committees and through leadership classes in our schools K-12. However, students report that their voices are often misunderstood or disregarded altogether. The Pleasanton Student Inter-Schools Action Council provides a formalized and student-directed way to not only provide input but also to propose and implement student driven initiatives aimed at the constant improvement of the educational system.
The benefits of incorporating students in the system of a school district are tremendous. Students benefit by developing new skills and a sense of belonging to the school district. Benefits to the district are many as students who are empowered and connected can provide real insight and data to improve student-teacher connections, practices, policies, curriculum, and instruction.
