haha i think its kind of a good idea.

sort of like an "eyes on the inside" kind of thing.
that kid will be able to add alot to any discussion, mainly because they probably know more about the school and the kids in it than any adult does.

trust me, i've been to plenty of school board meetings filled with people who haven't been near a high school in over 20 years. someone who is actually in the school will most likely have a better perspective on whats best for it than any adult could.
