These policies aim to address racial, socioeconomic, or other disparities, so that all students have the support they need. In this article, we will dive into the process of policymaking in Washington school districts and explore how policies are advocated for and instituted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who is in Charge of Equity Policies? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chain of command when it comes to school districts may be confusing to the public, because there are so many key actors and groups. The Washington Office for the Superintendent of Public Instruction, or OSPI, explains <a href=\"https:\/\/ospi.k12.wa.us\/policy-funding\/school-buildings-facilities\/school-facilities-programs\/school-district-organization#:~:text=OSPI%20does%20not%20have%20authority,OSPI%20provides%20support%20and%20information.\">on their website<\/a>, \u201cOSPI does not have authority over school operation; this is the direct responsibility of the school district. OSPI provides support and information.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, principals manage individual schools, with guidance from the school board, which hires and supervises the superintendent. The school board oversees districts at the local level, while OSPI supports those districts by sharing policies, research, and communication tools. At each of these levels, district staff are instrumental in supporting students and providing services.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A school board, as mentioned above, is the entity responsible for setting district policies. On the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/rcw\/default.aspx?cite=28A.150.230\">Washington State Legislature website<\/a>, it states that \u201ceach common school district board of directors shall be vested with the final responsibility for the setting of policies ensuring quality in the content and extent of its educational program and that such program provide students with the opportunity to achieve those skills\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Role of Students<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many school boards have student representative positions. For example, Lake Washington School District has two positions on their board for students. Taran Srinivasan was a previous LWSD student representative, and I reached out to him to ask about the policy process within the board, as well as his role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPolicies are usually initiated by different stakeholder groups that recognize potential problems through research or collecting data,\u201d Taran explained. \u201cThese stakeholders could be students, admin, board members, the superintendent, or outside groups.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the policies are strong enough, then a committee is created for it, made up of different members of the district community. These members will discuss the policy and send their ideas to the board. The board will hold a study session on the committee\u2019s ideas and formulate their relevance and discuss, or add to the policy. \u201cIf all goes well, then it moves to the public board meeting where they vote on it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I asked Taran about what his position entailed, he said, \u201cMy role as a student representative was to gauge the impact of the policy on students and give my input on it during the study session and board meetings.\u201d Though the students in this role do not get a vote on the board, their input and opinions are incorporated into the overall process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a student interested in policymaking within your school district, there are many ways for you to get involved. Aside from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lwsd.org\/about\/school-board\/student-representative-to-the-school-board\">applying to be a student representative<\/a>, you can also join and form advocacy groups at your school, organize awareness campaigns, arrange petitions, attend school board meetings, and educate yourself on policy issues in your district.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students play a crucial role in advocating for policies, especially when it comes to equity policies, which are essential for creating a fair educational environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em>Aseela Galeeb is a graduate of the Lake Washington School District and is an incoming first year college student obtaining two degrees in Policy and Communications.
