Massachusetts S287 amends student representative voting rights in school committees.

Massachusetts S287 amends the law to establish that school committees in cities, towns, and regional school districts must recognize two student representatives elected by secondary school students. These representatives can vote on all matters before the committee, serve without compensation, and are subject to school committee rules and regulations. They do not have the right to attend executive sessions unless expressly granted by the individual school committee. The bill also creates a student advisory committee to assist the student representatives and their constituents.
