The Illinois State Board of Education
(ISBE) invites Illinois public high school students who will be in grades 10,
11, and 12 in the 2019-20 school year to apply to join ISBE’s Student Advisory
Council. Members of the council will engage in discussions about how the public
education system can better meet students’ needs. The State Board is seeking
diverse applicants to provide perspectives on equity and opportunity in
Illinois’ public schools. The State Board also seeks applicants considering
different opportunities after high school, including apprenticeships, military
service, employment, and college.
The format and duties of the Student Advisory
Council evolves each year based on members’ ideas. Past members have met with
lawmakers, researched and presented on issues to the State Board, consulted
ISBE staff on agency initiatives, launched an Instagram account, and developed the Student Voices website.
Members attend several
Board meetings in Springfield and meet as a council virtually throughout the
year. ISBE reimburses students’ travel expenses.
