Congrats, Kevin! You're getting a good one @Harvard! Kevin is @MdPublicSchools student member, w/ great insights on education. Our #NASBELegCon would not have been the same w/out his perspective on #studentmentalhealth and the importance of systems that support the #wholechild.
I’m so excited to announce that I will be pursuing my college education for the next four years at @Harvard University! Thanks to everyone who made this dream a reality. I am not 100% certain just yet, but I plan to major in history and science, and minor in educational policy.

Our @MdPublicSchools @statesmob Kevin Bokoum is sharing great insights about challenges students face & what they need as we chart our path forward from the pandemic. #MentalHealth #Intentionality #WrapAroundServices #StudentVoice @NASBE #NASBELegCon
Merin Thomas | Maryland SMOB retweeted
When asked how we ensure #StudentVoice, @statesmob encourages Boards of Ed to advocate for student seat & vote on the board; create genuine listening sessions/roundtables to hear from students; get into schools to hear directly from those in classrooms. #NASBELegCon @nasbe
