The Student Government Association at DeKalb County High School has reorganized hoping to have a closer relationship with the Board of Education.
Dulce Maciel, an honors student at DCHS and member of the Association, addressed the Board of Education Thursday night during its regular monthly meeting.
“Our mission is to reach out to the Board of Education on any impending issues at DCHS and see if there is a way to resolve it and have a connecting relationship together,” said Maciel.
The Board is made up of students in 9th through 12th grade.
Donna Emmons, DCHS educator and one of four sponsors of the Association, said the group plans to have at least one student member attend each school board meeting. “We have 30 members made up of class officers and people interested in student government and community improvement. The students have elected a board of directors (six members) and will be attending the Board of Education meetings,” she said.
In other business, Board Chairman W.J. (Dub) Evins III gave the Director’s monthly personnel report.
Martha Melching has been granted a leave of absence. Resignations since November are Kathy Jacobs, bus driver, Cody Pack, custodian, and Ken Taylor, bus driver.
