The Vancouver School Board has voted unanimously for a student trustee to join its board.
Trustee Mike Lombardi thinks it is a good decision.
"It's all about bringing a student voice to decision making to make our schools a better place for kids, and to promote student success."
The student trustee won't have a vote, but can contribute to discussion.
With this move, Vancouver becomes the first district west of Ontario to have a student school board trustee.
