This bill aims to enhance civic engagement and leadership development among high school students by establishing student school board members in Nebraska school districts. It defines key terms, including "student school board member," and mandates that each school board include a number of student members equal to the number of elected members. The selection process for these student members will vary based on the number of high schools in the district, with specific procedures for their selection, which may include elections or nominations. Each student member will serve a one-year term and must be enrolled in good standing in grades ten, eleven, or twelve.

Additionally, the bill outlines the powers and duties of student school board members, which include attending public meetings, receiving meeting materials, and serving as a liaison between the student body and the school board. However, they will not have voting rights or access to confidential information. By January 1, 2027, each school board is required to adopt policies and procedures for the inclusion of student members, which may encompass training and recognition initiatives.
