A 9855 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Allows for the designation of students as ex officio members of school boards; repealer

This bill updates New York State education laws to allow high school districts to include students as non-voting members on their school boards. It clarifies that these student representatives can attend public meetings and participate in discussions but cannot vote, receive payment, or access closed executive sessions. The law provides several methods for selecting these students, such as election by the student body or selection by the principal, while requiring that chosen students have attended the school for at least one year. Additionally, the bill repeals previous sections of the education law to remove outdated provisions related to student board membership.
