The stage has been set. Since our regular LSC has had its share of troubles running our school system, the students have decided to overthrow the current administration and TAKE OVER (for a day at least). The school committee meeting scheduled for April 14th has been rescheduled to April 12th to coincide with Student Government Day allowing the students to participate in the business of government.
There should be some talk of making this proposed move permanent. How much worse could they do? I mean we have all these failing schools and we are paying all these top administrators big bucks (I think 26 over 100K) and I bet we could get the kids to do this work for close to minimum wage! I mean it has worked for McDonalds and they serve BILLIONS.
This is one of the best days for the students in the City of Lynn...I recall working for Mayor Marino who enjoyed having a student take over for him for the day...Tony had class with the Student Mayor teaching and treating the student and office staff with the utmost dignity and know the number one rule-RESPECT...to this day I will always remember the experience I gained from working in City Hall and for the Honorable Man...the student will utilize some of the programs later in life on what the city has to offer, ex., 1st Time Buyers Money, how to apply for a construction permit, etc...the biggest and best is how to present themselves, represent your city, and take pride in your city...I wish all the students who get this opportunity the best day! Never can tell who might be a candidate down the road, or change their college preference to Political Science...stand proud and have a great day I'm very proud of all the students...make some good solid decisions!
