Open Session Type Discussion/Action Recommended Action Conduct interviews and select a Student Board Member to serve during the 2023-24 school year. BACKGROUND : Students who were Juniors at Fontana Unified's seven high schools during the 2022-23 school year were invited to submit applications if they are interested in serving as the District's Student Board Member representative during the 2023-24 school year. Students completed an application, submitted an essay explaining why they are interested in serving as the Student Board Member, and submitted two letters of recommendation. An application was received from each of the five comprehensive high schools. The students’ applications are provided in Executive Content and were also provided to the Board of Education for review in a prior board report. Information regarding the students’ schools was redacted from the applications in order to provide a fair screening and interview process. Students were instructed, during the interview, to not provide information regarding their current school, as they will be representing not just their school and the students attending there, but all of the students of Fontana Unified School District.
