Each year, student delegates from middle and high schools are selected to attend a convention to select two nominated candidates, and two alternate candidates, for Student Member of the Board of Education (SMOB).

One student delegate per grade is selected to represent each middle school. One student delegate from grades nine, ten, eleven and three at-large delegates are selected to represent each high school. These delegates are selected by a committee that interviews students who have submitted a Student Delegate Application.

A successful delegate will:

• Attend the SMOB Convention on March 19, 2025 (You will be missing school for this "field trip")
• Demonstrate an understanding of the role of the SMOB
• Demonstrate respect for the ideas of others.
• Work well with other students.
• Evaluate the Student Member applicants before convention.
• Complete a training program for delegates.
• Give and receive constructive feedback.
