New Student Member Of School Board Ready To Go To Work

[THE  GAZETTE] Jonathan Harris, 17, a rising senior at Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School in Upper Marlboro, was elected in June by student delegates from the Prince George’s Regional Association of Student Governments, which represents county high school students.

“All the people making the decisions when it comes to education are adults,” he said. “When children come first, that means that the student voice should be included. We need to be heard and respected.” Among the issues Harris hopes to target are unity among students and transportation.  Harris said he is hoping to get reduced Metro fares for students to and from school for evening activities, such as sports and clubs, when school bus transportation is not provided. Harris also hopes to hold more countywide events next year to celebrate achievements.
