Student Representative

Since 1976, NJASC has elected the Student Representative to the New Jersey State Board of Education, who also serves as one of our nine State Officers. The term of office for the Student Representative, as defined by the State Board of Education, is from July 1 to June 30 of the following year. Therefore, when NJASC elects its State Officers in January, the incoming Student Representative works with the current Student Representative (from the prior NJASC Board) until formally being inducted onto the State Board of Education in July.

Each month, the Student Representative reports to the State Board of Education on a topic of interest to students and also offers feedback to other State Board members on a variety of issues that affect students throughout the Garden State.

The current student representative to the New Jersey State Board of Education is (2024) State Officer Anna Paszkiewicz of Palmyra High School, who will serve in this position from July 2024 to June 2025. You can contact Anna to share ideas and concerns at stateboe24@njasc.net.

The next student representative to the New Jersey State Board of Education will be (2025) State Officer Kailynn DuRose of East Brunswick High School, who will serve in this position from July 2025 to June 2026. You can contact Kailynn to share ideas and concerns at stateboe25@njasc.net.
