One of MicroSociety’s core ideas is student voice. One of the foundational parts of that is a student run government established by a Constitutional Convention. I have been facilitating that endeavor and have put up a website and blog about what we’re accomplishing. (In no way is this meant as selfishness but the website name is one I already owned and it seemed simpler to use it than not. )

Go to www.cdjackson.name to follow along. I am doing my best to have a report on the events each and every day.

Thanks,
