Following that meeting they were tasked to meet with their peers to determine what is going well in their school/GSSD, what could be better, and what they would like to see in the future. These students then shared their results with Quintin, Amanda, and their respective board members in either a North, South, or Central cluster meeting. Data was then compiled, summarized, and then shared again with all student senators and advisors during a virtual meeting on May 30th. At this time, students contributed any last thoughts or suggestions for our steps moving forward. 2025 - On Nov 25, 2025, a virtual student senate meeting occurred. Themes and progress were reviewed at this time. The meeting wrapped up by giving students an opportunity to decide the direction they wanted the student senate to go in the future.
