Superintendent's Student Advisory Council

 

Dr. Watts listening to students during meeting

"Our Student Advisory Council is a priceless resource as we make decisions that impact students across our county,” Superintendent Dr. Watts said. “I am so excited to get to know the students on our council this year, to listen and learn from them as they share their perspectives and help us make the best possible decisions for all students in GCPS. Elevating student voice is central to implementing our strategic plan. When we do this well, we should see increased student and family engagement, enhanced student-adult communication, and increased trust between students and educators.”

Dr. Watts started the (GCPS) Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council in 2022, just months after being named Superintendent in July 2021.
