When asked how we ensure #StudentVoice, Merin Thomas | Maryland SMOB encourages Boards of Ed to advocate for student seat & vote on the board; create genuine listening sessions/roundtables to hear from students; get into schools to hear directly from those in classrooms. #NASBELegCon @nasbe

I’m so excited to announce that I will be pursuing my college education for the next four years at Harvard University University! Thanks to everyone who made this dream a reality. I am not 100% certain just yet, but I plan to major in history and science, and minor in educational policy.

If there were people I had to thank most it would be first and foremost my amazing teachers, then loving family, and then the amazing people within the organizations and school systems which developed me into the leader I am today: MASC, WCPS Maryland and Maryland State Department of Education

Congrats, Kevin! You're getting a good one Harvard University! Kevin is Maryland State Department of Education student member, w/ great insights on education.
