Motions, Seconds, and Votes! City Councils and School Boards Hold First Meetings
City and School Boards held their inaugural meetings at Cornhusker Boys’ State. The mock government simulation allowed them to practice the duties and responsibilities of their offices. Delegates engaged in spirited debate about the issues of the day and passed many local laws and policies. The topics range from serious issues ripped from the headlines to fun local ordinances to enhance their town’s culture. The government simulation runs throughout the week. Thank you to the local attorneys who helped guide delegates through the experience.
