Two Pottstown High School Students Will Join School Board

Two Pottstown High School students will now have a place on the school board as non-voting members, thanks to a Pottstown School District school board vote at their Monday, Aug. 19 meeting, according to The Mercury.

“We recommend that one current junior-year student and one senior-year student join the board, with an alternate from each class asked to serve for those selected students if they cannot attend a particular meeting,” according to the policy adopted by the board.

The student members “will be expected to relay discussions” at committee of the whole and workshop school board meetings to their student peers through video homeroom announcements and morning announcements.

Interested juniors and seniors should submit a letter of interest in which they explain why they wish to be a board member, as well as two letters of recommendation, one from a high school counselor or teacher, and one from a work of community mentor.

Juniors and seniors who are interested must submit a letter of interest, explaining their reasons for wanting to be on the board, and two letters of recommendation, one from a community or work mentor or supervisor and one from a high school teacher or counselor.

There will be announcements in the high school from Sept. 9 to Sept. 17 regarding accepting the applications from Sept. 16 to Sept. 27.
