State Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council
Selected students in grades 11-12 serve as members of the State Superintendent’s Advisory Council. High school juniors may serve on the council for two years, and seniors serve for one year.
The council’s purpose is to provide a forum for Mississippi’s students to offer diverse perspectives to the State Superintendent of Education. The selected students will act as liaisons between the Mississippi Department of Education and public-school students from across the state.
Students from different backgrounds, school size and regions in Mississippi will be able to share their opinions and offer advice about educational opportunities and policy in Mississippi with the state superintendent of education.
All students will be expected to attend scheduled meetings to remain an active member of the council, to prepare for each meeting upon receiving the agenda, to express views and opinions openly, constructively and respectfully; and actively participate in group projects.
