Two Cherokee County School District students have been selected for the State Superintendent of Schools’ 2015 Student Advisory Council.

Temi Adekunle of River Ridge High School and Elizabeth Hughes of E.T. Booth Middle School are among the 64 students selected from across Georgia by State School Superintendent Richard Woods. The Council will meet three times this winter and spring to talk about the impact of State policies in the classroom.

The students were selected from more than 1,000 applicants, and were chosen for their views on public education and possible improvements.

“It is essential, as we work to develop child-focused, classroom-centered policies, to hear directly from students,” Superintendent Woods said. “These students feel the impact of our decisions every day and, if we’re going to improve their educational experience, we have to bring them to the table.”
