Two East Cobb students will serve on state education advisory councils this academic year after being appointed by Georgia School Superintendent Richard Woods.
They are:
- Zechariah Fuller, Dickerson Middle School, Middle School Advisory Board;
- Nidhi Manikkoth, Walton High School, High School Advisory Board.
They’re among six Cobb County School District students and 142 across the state to serve on the advisory councils, who will meet with the superintendent during the school year to offer feedback on the impact of state education policies in the classroom and other education issues.
The panelists were chosen from an original pool of 1,500 students in Georgia public schools who applied and wrote essays explaining why they wanted to serve.
Here’s Woods, via a CCSD release:
“Every year, it is so valuable to hear directly from students through my Student Advisory Council, In the past, we have made direct changes based on student feedback, and I look forward to working with these 142 students who I know will make an impact. I’m so grateful for every student who took the time to apply and share their thoughts.”
The first meetings will take place Oct. 3-4, with future sessions in January and April.
