    Governor Bill Lee has appointed Bonza Auberson, a senior at Cookeville High School in Putnam County Schools, to the Tennessee State Board of Education. As a student representative, Ms. Auberson will join the board at the August quarterly meeting and will serve on the State Board of Education for a one-year term. Student board members hold voting positions and can weigh in during Board discussions. “We are elated to have Bonza serve as our student member,” said Dr. Sara Morrison, executive director of the State Board of Education. “She has a unique opportunity to maximize the student perspective and advocate for practices that best support learning in the classroom.” Ms. Auberson lives in Cookeville and is actively involved in the Cookeville High School and Putnam County community. She is an all-honors student and participates in her high school dance team, choir, and serves on the newspaper staff. In her free time, she enjoys singing in her church choir and engaging in youth group. This past summer, Ms. Auberson was selected to participate in Volunteer Girls State, a program of the American Legion Auxiliary that promotes female leadership in Tennessee.
