| Abstract: | The article focuses on the Creighton Kids Congress, a student representative body in Arizona's Creighton School District, which actively contributes to district decision-making in areas such as facility projects, behavioral supports, textbook selection, and strategic planning. Comprising two students from each of the district’s nine schools, the Congress meets quarterly to provide input that has influenced major initiatives, including school rebuilding designs and social-emotional learning programs. The district prioritizes student voice as a key element in governance, involving students in superintendent recruitment and aligning board goals with student outcomes. This inclusive approach aims to empower young leaders and improve educational experiences across the district’s prekindergarten through eighth-grade schools. [Extracted from the article] |
