Boston Student Advisory Council

I found this through another great post by Adam Fletcher.

The Boston Student Advisory Council is an advisory council composed of students from Boston city schools that represent high school youth on issues such as metal detectors in schools, cell phones, and classroom late policies.  It seems that this group is having great success.  The only unclear issue is how these student leaders are selected; are they chosen by administrative officials, or are they directly elected by the students?  This is a shining example of Youth-Adult Partnerships in the school, an area where adults are traditionally thought to wield all the power.
