Whittier Union High School District’s Student Advisory Council members toured California’s State Capitol on April 3, and met with local lawmakers to learn about the legislative process. Students had the opportunity to step onto the Senate floor and meet with Senator Bob Archuleta and took part in meet and greet sessions with Assemblywoman Blanca Pacheco and Lisa Calderon.
The Student Advisory Council is comprised of students from each of the District’s high schools and is tasked with discussing school events and activities, attending Board meetings, and meeting with the superintendent to discuss school issues. They also gather student input for the District’s Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which guides spending of state funds.
