The State Board of Education is now accepting applications from current high school sophomores to serve as the Board’s next Student Board for the 2026-2028 term. Applications are open through Tuesday, March 31.
Student board members are trusted with the same responsibilities as adult members. They attend all Board meetings, contribute to discussions, and vote on policy changes. In fact, Washington is one of only a handful of states that gives students full voting power on its State Board of Education!
Students earn a stipend of up to $100/day when engaged in board activities. All travel expenses are covered. Students from all backgrounds and postsecondary plans are encouraged to apply.
Visit the Washington State Board of Education website to learn more and apply.
