"Joining CASC has been one of the best decisions of my life. Not only has it taught me essential leadership skills to succeed in my future career but it has also given me a family of like-minded, passionate students who want to change the world for the better. Due to the programs, the priceless experiences, and my friends at CASC, I have gained the courage to step up for what I believe is right."

Our Legislative Work

 

SB 468 received the Governor's approval on September 25, 2017. The bill requires that student board members receive all meeting materials presented to the board members. Additionally, student board members are invited to briefings with board members or separate briefings within the same timeframe.

AB 261 was approved by the Governor on September 23, 2017. The bill grants a student member of a district board preferential voting rights.

SB 532 has officially been signed by the Governor on September 21, 2015! This is really a testament to how much important work we can do at the capitol. The bill mandates each school board must create a student school board member position within 60 days of receiving a qualified petition from the student body.
