Bismarck (NDDPI) \u2013 State School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler on Tuesday named her new Superintendent\u2019s Student Cabinet, a 25-member group that will advise her about ways to strengthen North Dakota\u2019s K-12 education system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cabinet includes students ranging in age from the fourth to the 12th<\/sup> grades, representing large and small schools in all corners of North Dakota. Eight of the 25 members have served on previous Cabinets. It is the fifth Cabinet in the history of the program, and the largest since Baesler began the initiative in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Cabinet\u2019s members will serve for 22 months, beginning Aug. 1, 2022, and ending in June 2024. The group will meet with Baesler every three months at the North Dakota Capitol. Its first meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSince the Superintendent\u2019s Student Cabinet program began, its members have provided me a great deal of valuable advice and opinions, and helped to shape public education policy,\u201d Baesler said. \u201cThey have helped build my understanding of what our students need, and to learn what is going well in our schools and what can be improved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The members of the new Cabinet are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bianca Sagness, 4th<\/sup> Grade, Kenmare Elementary School Arthaud, Bundy, Franklin, Jackson, Muggli, Pitner, Terras and Zerr have served on previous Cabinets. The new group includes 16 young women and nine young men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAside from being able to influence public policy in North Dakota, students who serve in the Cabinet also have an opportunity to develop their skills in leadership, public speaking, decision-making and team building,\u201d Baesler said. \u201cThey have a chance to become our next generation of leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bismarck (NDDPI) \u2013 State School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler on Tuesday named her new Superintendent\u2019s Student Cabinet, a 25-member group that will advise her about ways to strengthen North Dakota\u2019s K-12 education system.
