Students on School Boards

"When the Montgomery County Board of Education chose its first new superintendent in a dozen years, a 16-year-old high school junior was among the eight board members to raise a hand. Students serve on local or state school boards in at least 25 states. There is no precise national count of student board members. But only a small number are able to cast votes that are more than symbolic."

State laws different on age of majority for election to office purposes. Local charters?
