Dr. Jennifer Barbaree met with the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council today. During the meeting, students and Dr. Barbaree engaged in meaningful conversations about the school district as a whole, as well as experiences specific to their individual schools. The purpose of the council is to provide students with a voice and allow the superintendent to hear not only their concerns, but also the successes they are experiencing throughout the district.
