Recommended: Roles and responsibilities of school governors

At my field placement’s school board meeting there were many issues that were discussed. The topic that was discussed was the functioning of the school day. During this discussion, the principal stated that the teachers and faculty were doing a great job in the mornings with getting the students from the buses to their proper classrooms. It was at this point that a teacher presented the idea of rotating teachers and faculty members outside each morning in order to maintain the morning drop offs. This idea was also proposed in order to create a schedule for all faculty to go by instead of randomly choosing faculty members to stand outside every morning. This discussion concluded with an unanimous vote for the proposal. Another topic that was discussed at the school board meeting was how nutritious the school lunches are. Many school board members were apprehensive that even though the school lunches were providing an adequate amount of daily vitamin and minerals, they should not be deemed healthy. The school board members decided to closely examine what the school serves for the next month and, if need be, readdress the concern in the next …show more content…

Board members voiced their concerns about future cuts to extracurricular activities in order to emphasize core standards. By cutting the extracurricular activities the school (and school district) would be saving a great deal of money. The school administration also discussed that if the extracurricular activities were to be cut, that it would help to improve standardized test scores by providing more materials to the teachers and faculty. The school board members decided to measure how much profit they are getting from extracurricular activities and how well they did on previous standardized tests in order to make any other decisions. Overall, the topic will be readdressed in a few more

    School lunch is an obvious problem that has yet to be fixed. Mark Samuelsson once said, “We struggle with eating healthily, obesity, and access to good nutrition for everyone. But we have a great opportunity to get on the right side of this battle by beginning to think differently about the way that we eat and the way that we approach food.” A well know fact to almost all students and their parents is that there are many problems with school lunches and it needs to change. Not only is school lunch unhealthy, but it also does not taste good most of the time. Some people feel that school lunch is not that big of a deal so it should be very cheaply processed in factories and preserved, but that is not the case. In order to solve the lingering

    We cannot have a school lunch reform where the needs of all students are not met. If only some, or less than the majority, of students are receiving the nutritional values they need, we need to adapt the reform to further achieve better standards for school lunch programs. For example, after a student finishes their meal, schools could offer a second serving of protein to their students. In effect, this will add a higher amount of calories to the students’ daily diets.

    In an interview I conducted with Glenda Eliarda, a nurse of nearly 10 years, Mrs. Eliarda said that majority of the meals offered in our school are not nutritious. Pizza, nachos, fries, and chips are not highly beneficial to our health and development. Students should consume more meals that include leafy green vegetables and fresh fruits. Even though our school does offer healthy alternatives like salads and snack packs, giving us an option to eat unhealthily is one of the major problems I believe that needs to be addressed.

    One reason our school should get a new lunch menu is many students do not like the food served. For example, a survey was taken and of the 31 students 100% said they disliked the food. As student Bryan Huang said, “The lunches are horrible, they need better choices and more choices.” In other words, the food is not delicious and there are not many choices. Also, when children don’t get proper nutrition they have trouble focusing in school. Most students do not buy lunch because they feel it is unappealing and do not like the food served. Many students go to other kids and ask for food. In addition, many students do not eat breakfast so they rely on lunch to fuel them for the day.

    In my opinion, student voice refers not only to the perspectives of the student body of HWDSB, but also to the perspectives of each individual student, and the perspectives of the various demographics of students in the board. It encompasses the concerns, questions, and opinions of each of the almost 50000 students in the board. As a school board, HWDSB’s ultimate goal is to provide a learning environment for students which allows them to grow and flourish to their greatest potential.
