Students Participate in Local Government

A fresh planning perspective from the young people in a community… Manchester, VT has appointed high school students to their local boards and there seems to be benefits for all.  Wouldn’t it be great to have high school and/or college student representated on the local Planning Board or Conservation Commission or Bike-Ped Committee?  It’s not unheard of in Hanover – the Dresden School Board has a seat for a HHS Council member.  Not only would there be a different perspective, it would  address the ever-growing concern of our aging volunteers.  Check out the recent Scenarios article for more details about Manchester.
