Jesse Ayala running for Student Representative on Madison School Board

Student Senate Alternate Representative to Board of Education:

Jesse Ayala, 11th Grade, Memorial High School

Platform: My name is Jesse Ayala and I'm running for the position of the Alternate Liaison to the Board of Education. As a junior at Madison Memorial High School I am involved in several aspects of school life, including Varsity Athletics, Drama, Student Government and Clubs, and I see how board decisions affect so many people in so many various ways. With all my experience, I feel I am qualified to assist in voicing the concerns of all these various groups to the board. Students engage in classes and activities that reflect them, and maintaining these will maintain student individualism and diversity. These unique activities are what make high school bearable, and without them things wouldn't' be the same.

Upon election, I would also become the President of the Student Senate. Being an active Senator for the past two years, I have seen how the Senate functions, and I feel that some reconstruction is necessary. The Senate needs to focus more on district wide issues, uniting the schools in the district and assisting the Liaison with important decisions. Upon my election I plan on working with the Senate Leaders and Advisors to devise a more effective and sensible structure for the Senate.
