Lucky enough to be one of 7 students representing my school to go to Sacramento!
The IUSD Student Advocacy Trip was an extraordinary journey that offered its participants, myself included, a priceless chance to observe the legislative process that shapes educational policies up close. Being part of this journey was a privilege, and it allowed me to gain a wealth of deep insights, enhancing my comprehension of governance and its impact on education. For example, I had the opportunity to consider the contemporary challenges California schools encounter by hearing legislators discuss their views and stances on these issues. Ultimately, the trip provided students with a significant opportunity to build social networks with legislators and deepen their understanding of educational policy.
