City Council to hold meeting at Dunwoody High School
The meeting is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 22 at 6 p.m.
Dunwoody, GA – January 16, 2024 – The Dunwoody City Council will hold its next meeting in the auditorium at Dunwoody High School (DHS) on January 22 at 6 p.m. Students, parents, and other community members are encouraged to attend the meeting, which will be hosted by the Dunwoody High School Youth City Council.
“In our first on-the-road experience, we want to make it easier for nearby residents to attend and participate,” said Dunwoody City Council Member Catherine Lautenbacher. “The Youth City Council is making this happen by being an integral part of the planning and execution.”
Youth City Council, which started in 2016, is open to DHS students in any grade. Students meet monthly with city leaders, like the Mayor, Council members and department heads to ask questions and provide feedback. They’re also invited to a special pre-meeting dinner with the Council toward the end of the school year.
“With Monday’s meeting, we hope to encourage high school students to be involved with their local government,” said Valentina Cloitre, co-president of Youth City Council. “Our day-to-day life is most impacted by our local government, so we believe that even though most high school students cannot vote yet, it is important to get them involved early. Through projects like this, students are encouraged to use their voice to inspire positive changes in our community.”
Mike Berry teaches social studies at DHS and serves as the club sponsor. "We all want our youth to grow up to be informed and engaged citizens, and I see this is a small step in that direction,” explained Berry. “I hope our students take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about and become more connected to our local government."
The Dunwoody High School Air Force JROTC will present the colors during the meeting. While all City Council meetings are open to the public, members of the Youth City Council are using social media and flyers to encourage additional participation and awareness.
The agenda for the meeting will be available closer to the meeting date using this link.
