2027 Student Advisor Review Panel | September 23, 2026

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education held a Student Advisor Review Panel meeting on September 23, 2026, to discuss the selection process for the 2027 student advisor. The panel reviewed the application deadline policy, deciding not to consider a late application to maintain fairness. They then focused on establishing a scoring rubric to evaluate candidates, agreeing to use categories such as clarity, passion, commitment, collaboration, leadership, and purpose, with some adjustments to the weightings of these criteria. The committee planned a two-step evaluation process: each member would submit their top 25 candidates by a set deadline, after which the panel would compile a top 20 list for detailed scoring using the rubric. The panel also emphasized ensuring geographic representation among finalists and scheduled follow-up meetings to finalize selections. No procurement or contracting matters were discussed during this meeting.
