For Immediate Release: \u00a0April 18, 2024<\/p>\n

State Board of Education selects semifinalists for 2024-25 State Board Student Rep Program<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

JACKSON, Miss. \u2013 The Mississippi State Board of Education (SBE) has selected 10 semifinalists for the SBE junior student representative in the 2024-25 school year.<\/p>\n

The SBE student representative program includes one high school junior and one high school senior who serve as non-voting SBE members and provide input on policy decisions that affect Mississippi public schools. The current junior SBE representative, Kate Riddle of Lafayette High School, will serve as the senior representative in 2024-25.<\/p>\n

The eligible applicant pool for the rising junior representative included 33 students.<\/p>\n

Student representatives are responsible for attending monthly SBE meetings and any standing committees or subcommittees to which they are assigned. Student representatives are excused from school to attend SBE meetings as official school business.<\/p>\n

The SBE adopted a policy in 2018 outlining the criteria for adding student representatives to the State Board.<\/p>\n

Semifinalists will be interviewed and up to four finalists will be named. The SBE will interview the finalists and appoint one rising junior.<\/p>\n
