**Student Voice Council at Bend-La Pine Schools Plays Key Role in District Leadership**

Bend-La Pine Schools in Bend, Oregon, reports that its Student Voice Council has been actively contributing to school district leadership this year. The council is composed of student representatives from the district’s seven high schools, providing a platform for student input on school policies.

The Student Voice Council collaborates with peers to gather and present their views on various issues directly to both the Superintendent and the Board of Directors. Representatives from the council also participate in Board meetings to share the student perspective on discussion topics.

The school district highlights the importance of this initiative, noting that hearing directly from students strengthens the district and its schools by addressing the needs and concerns of its students.

This ongoing effort emphasizes the role of student leadership in fostering a more inclusive and responsive school system.
