Policy JJA
Policy JJA
On May 23, 2023, the Baltimore City School Board passed Policy JJA, which governs Student Government and other student organizations. ASCBC was deeply involved throughout the policy development process, holding consultations with SGA students at General Assemblies, working with district office staff to revise the policy, and providing testimony to the School Board.
It is our belief that JJA is the most progressive policy supporting the rights of Student Governments and other student organizations in the country.
