Community Engagement and Student Voice

Climate Justice Youth Advisory (CJYA): Have a passion for climate justice? This is the opportunity to further hone in your climate justice knowledge and put it into practice at PPS.

PPS reImagined Student Interns: Do you identify as BIPOC and/or have experience as part of an affinity/community/leadership group or club? This is a paid opportunity for you to express your thoughts, feelings, experience and expertise to further influence and change the systems and practices of the district.

There are a few projects in motion, a major one is participating in the Community Budget Review Committee of the district. ​​The CBRC members review, evaluate, and make recommendations to the school board regarding the Superintendent's proposed budget and any other budgetary issues the CBRC or the school board identify. The CBRC also monitors and advises the school board on the allocation and expenditure of Local Option Levy funds. You can learn more by visiting the Community Budget Review Committee webpage.
