Ideas
to involve elected officials |
|
|
|
 |
|
Invite congressional
representatives, state
legislators, city council members and county commissioners. Include your
city manager, planning director, library director, police and fire
chiefs, local newspaper editor...the possibilities are endless! |
|
|
|
Send a letter inviting your elected officials to visit
your high school and be on a panel in an American Government class. |
|
|
|
Invite local officials to visit your student
government class and discuss leadership.
Ask the student council to host an elected official throughout a morning of their regular
classes. Schedule a town-hall-style meeting with students at lunch. |
|
|
|
Ask your elected officials to be
honorary principals for a day at each of your schools. Allow them to shadow
the principal through a typical school day. |
|
|
|
Invite a group of officials to
visit one of your
successful programs: FFA, technology center, ESL classroom, language immersion
program, theater arts – you know your strengths and your needs! |
|
|
|
Hint: To get elected officials into your
building, be flexible about the date and time. And let them know you are
inviting the press! |
