Board, superintendent and commissioners thank departing student delegates

Staff member Mary Kate Rossi introduced the board's student delegates, saying both Isabella Hanson and Cal (last name given in the transcript) will be graduating and leaving for college (Isabella to George Washington University and Cal to University College London according to the staff remarks). The board presented small gifts, the superintendent thanked the delegates for bringing student voice to board work, and several commissioners offered brief tributes highlighting the delegates' leadership, courage and contributions to public comment and advisory councils.

The student delegates briefly reflected on the value of being listened to, the tangible experience of civic participation and how serving as delegates gave them an understanding of district policy and the Brown Act process. The board dismissed the delegates with appreciation before moving to the next agenda item.
