What is the Student Trustee?

In addition to the five elected Trustees of the Board of Trustees for the Foothill-De Anza Community College District, there is one Student Trustee from each college. Following procedures prescribed by the Board, the Student Trustees will be chosen by the students enrolled in the colleges. The term of the Student Trustees will be one year commencing in June.

The Student Trustees are seated with the elected trustees at all public meetings of the Board and will be recognized at those meetings as full members of the Board for the purpose of questioning witnesses, discussing issues and making and seconding motions.

The Student Trustees are entitled to an advisory vote. If a Student Trustee wishes to cast an advisory vote, it shall be taken prior to the Board’s vote. Furthermore, the Student Trustees will receive all material presented to the publicly elected trustees, except material that relates to matters considered in closed session.
