Abstract
What is the role of students in educational policy-making in Canadian school systems? This question was the basis for my doctoral thesis in 1999. A study was conducted at school, school district and departmental levels across Canada. This article provides a brief account of the literature and methodology used and discusses the findings of the study in terms of what provision is made for student involvement in policy-making at each level in education, the nature of that involvement, the mechanisms used for recruiting student involvement in policy-making, the perceptions of stakeholders on student involvement, and the constraints to be overcome in Canadian school systems. It shows that education systems across Canada involve students in policy-making at the department, school district, and school levels, but in an advisory capacity: involvement is restricted to providing policy-makers with information.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
