Murray, KY – Kentucky's Department of Education is looking for public high school students to apply for a yearlong stint on the Next-Generation Student Council. The council is a new group that was formed by state Education Commissioner Terry Holliday. It will generate feedback from students on critical issues facing schools and on how decisions made at the state level affect them. The group will meet with Holliday and the Education Department staff both in-person and virtually. Applications can be found on the Education Department web site. The deadline is November 30th. A committee will then choose 11 students in grades 10 through 12 to serve during the 2011-2012 school year.
