An Act relative to student voice

This bill changes student representation on school committees by making student members voting members (previously non-voting) and replacing "without compensation" with a scholarship requirement. Student representatives must complete one full year of service to receive a scholarship funded by the school committee at the end of their senior year, with partial scholarships available for incomplete service. The bill also allows school committees to provide stipends to student representatives for their service. These changes directly affect student representatives, school committees, and district budget allocations for student engagement programs.
