Meet the 2025-26 County Board of Education Student Board Members

Meet the 2025-26 County Board of Education Student Board Members

The San Diego County Board of Education confirmed the appointment of the 2025-26 student board members during the April regular board meeting. The first students will begin their service in May.

Student board members give a voice on the board and share their experiences and perspectives. They are recognized at board meetings as a full member, seated with other members of the board, and allowed to participate in questioning presenters and discussing issues. Student board members receive all materials presented to board members, except those related to closed sessions.

Students from across the county submitted applications, and after a rigorous selection process, the following students were selected.

The student board members will each attend two consecutive board meetings, beginning with the District 1 student representative for May and June. The District 2 student representative will serve August and September; the District 3 student representative will serve October and November; the District 4 student representative serves January and February; and the District 5 student representative will serve March and April.  

In addition to participating in questioning presenters and discussing issues, the student board members can also cast preferential votes, a formal expression of opinion recorded in the minutes, on all matters except those subject to closed session discussion. Student board members can also make motions that may be acted upon by the county board, except on matters dealing with employer-employee relations.
