Bethlehem Central School District Welcomes New Student Board Members
June 19, 2025 - 18:12
At its recent meeting on June 18, the Bethlehem Central Board of Education took a significant step toward enhancing student representation by appointing two juniors from Bethlehem Central High School, Claire Aliggayu and Rose Pastore, as student members for the upcoming 2025-26 school year. This initiative aligns with New York State law, which mandates that all school districts include at least one student representative on their Board of Education.
The inclusion of student voices is crucial in shaping educational policies and ensuring that the perspectives of the student body are considered in decision-making processes. Claire and Rose will have the opportunity to share their insights and experiences, contributing to discussions that impact their peers and the wider school community. Their appointment reflects the Board's commitment to fostering a collaborative environment where students can actively participate in governance and advocate for their needs and interests. The Board looks forward to the fresh perspectives and ideas that Claire and Rose will bring to their roles.
