An Act ensuring student representation, Aidan's Law

Aidan's Law amends Massachusetts education law to require public and charter school committees to meet with a student advisory committee at least once every other month during the school year. This advisory group must consist of five students elected by their respective high school or charter school student body. The committee will elect a chairperson annually who serves as a nonvoting member of the school committee or board of trustees, ensuring student voices are included in governance without having voting power. Additionally, the law allows school districts to appoint a student outreach coordinator to help establish the committee and keep students informed about upcoming meetings.
