AFT 1481 Report
Students Share Out
During the start of each board meeting, it's always a treat to hear our Student Trustees eloquently share site updates and concerns with the school Board of Trustees and Executive Cabinet. Trustee Natalie La from Westmoor High School was present during this meeting.
Student Trustee Katalina Huazano, Terra Nova High School, shared her report through notes given to Board President Tejada. She noted that a water filling station was recently installed in the school's "Jungle" quad area with students taking full advantage of this new installation. She also mentioned the senior class holding an e-waste fundraiser this weekend to garnish monies to fund their spring prom. She lastly noted that as winter sports come to a close, the school is excited to being training and practices for their spring athletic teams.
At the next board meeting, our District Student Trustees will have the opportunity to present on events taking place at their school sites.
