Student council officers from the district’s two middle schools described activities—dances, spirit days, Barathon and charity drives—and noted student councils raise funds that support other student activities. Advisors and building administrators said the role requires substantial out‑of‑school time (advisors estimated more than 200 hours annually) and asked the board to consider creating paid stipends for two advisor positions (one per building) at Category 6, approximately $2,046–$2,147 depending on year of service.

Administrators said the stipend request will be brought formally to the November legislative meeting and that the district relies on advisors to coordinate volunteers, fundraising and event logistics. Student representatives highlighted the community value of events (e.g., raising over $7,000 for United Way in March 2024) and explained how the program builds leadership and real‑world skills.

The board thanked the students and advisers; administration said it would include the stipend proposal on a future agenda for board consideration.
