The city of Fall River has turned to the individuals that are affected most by school policies — the students themselves. Thirteen students have been selected from B.M.C Durfee and Diman Regional Vocational Technical high schools to participate in this new student involvement program. Seven of the students will be distributed across four different school committees, with six to act as alternates. The students are encouraged to speak at meetings, though they will have no voting power.

To the students, Mayor of Fall River Will Flanagan stated “Ask as many questions as possible and learn as much as you can. Get involved as much as you can.”

The program is reciprocal in that it will allow a group of students to experience everyday municipal government, and it will provide fresh insight to those that regularly participate in the meetings.

The launch of the program has spurred even more interest in student involvement. Because the city boards are currently full, program organizers are seeking other organizations and agencies who would like to invite students to participate. A recent Bishop Connolly High School graduate was recently invited to the Community Development Recreation board.
