Student reps named to school board

This year’s student representatives to Spokane Public Schools’ board of directors are Dan Johnson, a senior at Shadle Park High School, and Alaina Smith, a senior at North Central High School.

The students don’t vote, but they do provide a student’s point of view.

Both Johnson and Smith said they were interested in the position as a learning experience.

“It’s important for me as a student to understand how things work,” said Smith, who hopes to share that understanding with the rest of NC.

“I want to help students understand how decisions are made so they can do something instead of just complain.”
