BPSB 2021 Student Representative Seated

Kynlee Farris of DeRidder High School was seated as the 2021 Student Representative to the Beauregard Parish School Board at the January meeting. 

The student representative provides input for the board on matters concerning students in parish schools as well as gives a monthly report to the board about student activities in the schools. In addition, the student representative leads a group of student government representatives from across the parish in leadership training and activities.  

An alternate is also selected to attend meetings and serve when the student representative is not available. Reagann Smith of East Beauregard High School will serve as the 2021 Student Alternate. 

The sponsors of the student government organizations at each parish high school nominate one junior to interview as the potential representative to the school board. 

The nominees agree to participate in one board meeting a month during the calendar year covering the last semester of their junior year and first semester of their senior year. 

Farris will represent the students of the parish as a non-voting member of the board. This is the twenty-eighth year that the Beauregard Parish School Board has seated a Student Representative.
