Neighbors | Submitted.Student representatives from each of Austintown's schools offered insight to Superintendent Vincent Colaluca, Assistant Superintendent Jeremy Batchelor and K-5 Curriculum Director Janet Polish during the Student Leadership Luncheon.

On Jan. 25, 15 student representatives from Austintown Intermediate, Middle and Fitch High School were invited to a special student leadership luncheon at the Board of Education Office.

The invitation came from Superintendent, Vincent Colaluca in an effort to gain a student’s perspective on various topics involving the the district.

“I really enjoyed having lunch with the students and learning about their ideas for the district. We had some great, productive conversations during our meeting. These students represented their buildings and our district well,” Colaluca said.

One piece in the district’s strategic plan, Falcon Focus 2020, is to have meetings (like this one) with student leadership groups to listen to what they would like to see in the district. Colaluca hopes to make this luncheon an annual gathering.

“I look forward to inviting students to do this again next school year,” he said.
