Resilience Through Connection: Empowering Schools with
Empathy, Unity and Wellness
Keynote Featuring the
Superintendent’s Student Advisory Committee
Future-Ready and Student-Led: SSAC Perspectives on Connection, Wellness, and Resilient School Culture
The Superintendent’s Student Advisory Committee (SSAC) is composed of student leaders who meet with Superintendent Burke to share insights, perspectives, and recommendations that reflect the experiences and needs of students. This committee serves as a platform for authentic student voices, ensuring that students contribute to discussions that shape their education and school communities.
Through structured discussions, collaborative problem-solving, and engagement with District departments, SSAC members provide valuable feedback on District initiatives. In addition to regular meetings, student voices are amplified through organized panels where committee members address key issues such as mental health, academic support, and school climate. In FY25, SSAC students participated in the student-led FutureMakers Forum: Students Defining Tomorrow, serving as panelists on leadership, student voice, and student empowerment topics. These students also shared their perspectives at the Bold Leadership Conference, contributing to impactful community conversations on education and equity.
