State Board of Education
Nonvoting Student Member
MEMORANDUM TO ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN IOWA
FROM: Gene Vincent, President
DATE: 11/22/2005
RE: Applications for Nonvoting Student Member on Iowa State Board of Education
The State Board of Education is now accepting applications from public school sophomores and juniors
who wish to be considered for appointment by Governor Vilsack to the Board. While this is a nonvoting
position, it presents a wonderful opportunity for the student member and voting members of the Board to
learn from each other as the Board makes policy for students in Iowa.
Accompanying this cover memorandum is the application that a student must fill out and sign, as well
as the consent form for the student's parent or guardian and the approval form for the district to
complete. Make as many copies as you need, but note that there is a limit as to the number of
students who may apply from a district. Do not approve more than the allowable number of applicants
from your district.
- If your district's enrollment for grades 10 - 12 is less than 400, only one student may apply
- Enrollment of 400 - 1199, two students may apply
- Enrollment of 1200 or more, three students may apply
The student member's term is May 1, 2006 - April 30, 2007. The state board will meet at least
nine times during that term, with most meetings taking place in the Grimes State Office Building
in Des Moines.
Besides being a full-time, regularly enrolled 10th or 11th grade student in a public high school,
the student must meet these requirements:
- Has a GPA of at least 3.0 (4.0 scale) or 3.75 (5.0 scale)
- Has attended his/her present high school at least the past two consecutive semesters (or the
equivalent thereof)
- Demonstrates participation in extracurricular and community activities, as well as an interest
in serving on the board
- Fills out the application and attaches all required forms and letters.
If you or any potential applicants have questions, please feel free to call Carol Greta,
the Board's legal counsel, at 515/281-8661.
