District 230 names new Student Representatives to the Board
Student voice is ever-present at District 230
Three Consolidated High School District 230 seniors have been selected to serve as the 2025-26 Student Representatives to the Board of Education. Shelby Oliver, of Andrew High School, Layla “Mo” Wong, of Stagg High School, and Zinah Hansan, of Sandburg High School, will add their voices to school board meetings each month. As presidents of their respective Student Councils, they also serve as student representatives on the Board of Education.
“Although student members cannot be voting members of the Board of Education, they will be able to hear about and provide feedback to the policies and initiatives going through the Board,” said Superintendent Dr. Robert Nolting.
Student voice is an important and critical component in the District 230 decision-making process. The student representatives serve as bridges between the student body and the Board, keeping students informed about matters and building a stronger sense of trust and a clear line of communication.
