There should be a voice from those who are directly affected by these decision.

I believe the student body, which is usually silenced should be able to vote for their representation.

The students are the ones most affected, so why don't they already have a voice/vote?

As someone who graduated from a Colorado High School, I know it would've meant so much for me to vote for board members. After filling out my first school board ballot this week, I was proud that my vote could finally count, it's only disappointing to have it come too late for me.
