Just a note that the Kentucky Student Voice Team spun off in January 2021 from the Prichard Committee and is now a fully independent youth-led organization! (www.kystudentvoiceteam.org) As pretty much a direct result of that and the team’s more independent legislative activity, there now exists one non-voting student representative on the state board of education whose position was just enshrined in law.
Would be so amazing if you could update this site to reflect that, especially since we direct other groups to it all the time!
