Most school districts, even ones as large as LAUSD (almost 700k students) and SDUSD (200k students), only have one student board member representing all students. But in Albany Unified School District, the less than 4,000 students are represented by two SBM's! Both of which come from the same (and only) high school in the district. Jaimee talks with one of these SBM's, Allison Dana, about what it's like to be able to tag team in what's already a small district.

Cancel culture. It's a difficult and complex thing to talk about. Hence why Jaimee and Henry ARE NOT talking about that in this episode. Rather, they discuss some (hopefully) common sense things you shouldn't do on social media as a student board member, and also offer their takes on where to draw the line for certain actions online.

To post or not to post? If Hamlet had been alive today (and a student board member), he probably would've asked the same thing. But in this episode, Jaimee and Henry Mills from Alameda Unified School District try and tackle this issue. What platforms should you be on? Do you need a separate SBM page? Do you live in a Snapchatty or an Instagramy area? Henry and Jaimee answer all these, and more in this episode!
