Student board representatives Ben Hughes (junior) and Kailee Price (senior) spent two days in Olympia along with superintendent Kelly Shea, school board vice president Heather Jeffers and school board director Michael Howe at a legislative conference.

Held on March 1-2, the Legislative Conference/Day on the Hill afforded an opportunity for school board directors, superintendents and other district leaders to meet one-on-one with state lawmakers.

Student board representatives attend all board meetings during the school year and report to the board on upcoming school events, in addition to other duties. Hughes and Price will be reporting their impressions of the conference during an upcoming board meeting.
