From State Representative Jeff Leach Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas   I am pleased to announce that my office is now accepting applications for Class 3 of the House District 67 Student Leadership Advisory Council.  Launched in 2014 the Student Leadership Advisory Council was crafted to provide a unique opportunity for high school students within House District 67 to engage in the legislative process and to obtain a hands-on education of the role and inner-workings of Texas state government.  My hope is that this program will continue to educate encourage and inspire our next generation of Texas leaders by providing them with a venue to learn the intrinsic value of public service all while providing a more thorough understanding of the nuts and bolts of the Texas Legislature. To be eligible for the 2016-2017 school year students must be enrolled in grades 9-12 in public private or homeschool and should reside in District 67.  Students will be selected by the Student Leadership Advisory Council Selections Committee which is comprised of various community leaders within House District 67.  Applications are due September 29 2016 and final selections will be announced in October.
