    Participant Feedback
    “...I was very impressed with the students and can see why you wanted at least half of the committee to be made up of students. It is their experience we want to improve, so insight from them is the most important to hear. I liked how you took a strong stance on "this is not political. This is not controversial" and appreciated that you set the expectation of being open and engaged and not pushing any particular agenda. I also think that your message about transparency came across well. …”

    Of the over 180 total applications received from ISD 748 students, staff, parents/guardians, and residents: almost 50 were students leaving less than 50 vacancies for the 130+ adults who applied. Applicants were notified of their participation on Thursday, September 9. The committee will be comprised of approximately 50% students, 20% staff, and 30% parents/guardians/District residents. Students selected to be on the committee must have parent/guardian consent.
