2022-2023 Student Representatives - Eleanor Drews and Taylor Rae Cayou were sworn in as student board representatives to the La Conner School Board to serve through June 2023. They are expected to attend all regular board meetings, study sessions, site visits, board retreats, occasional special events, and conferences. They will also have opportunities to meet other leaders and elected officials throughout their term.
While the student representatives don’t have official voting authority, the student's voice is an essential and integral part of the board’s deliberations. Our student representatives help us better understand how decisions directly impact our students. Their input is invaluable and vital to maintain a student's voice as part of the board’s work.
