ASB

ASB (Associated Student Body) Mission Statement:

ASB is a representative group of Learning Post Academy students who plan and organize activities to help create and uphold a positive school environment, enhance school spirit, and contribute to the greater community through service.

What do the ASB students do?

ASB is in charge of coordinating the planning, organizing, and hosting of all student on- and off-campus activities. These activities include, but are not limited to: fun meetings, food and toiletries drives, making blankets for local families in need, and campus spirit events. 

Who are the members of the ASB leadership team?

LPA students in grades 7-12 are welcome to apply to be part of the team.

Who runs ASB?

ASB is a student-led organization. Cabinet positions include President, Vice-President, Secretary, Media, and sometimes Treasurer. All bills and expenditures are discussed by ASB, and all legal documents are signed off by the ASB Officers, the advisor, and school site administration.  

How are ASB members selected?

Currently enrolled LPA students who wish to be a part of ASB must send an application to Ms. Gedgaudas. Students are selected for ASB based on the following requirements: application and personal statement, academic grades, citizenship, and work habits (based on past academic records). All ASB members must maintain a 2.5 GPA with at least a C in every class. ASB students are expected to be independent self-advocates who can step up and represent themselves and their peers.  Our primary focus is on selecting students who are service-oriented and who seek to improve the culture on campus through inclusive representation, not just personal leadership development.

Who advises ASB?

This year, Ms. Nida Gedgaudas is new to the role of ASB advisor at LPA. The elected Vice Principal and Principal will oversee all decisions and expenditures, and the team will work together to plan and organize activities for the academic year.

Can ASB sometimes raise funds?

California law allows students in California's public schools to raise money and make decisions about how they will spend this money.  The funds that are raised and spent by student organizations are called “ASB funds.” Management of ASB funds presents students with opportunities to raise and spend money, budget funds, plan activities, and acquire leadership skills while making a contribution to their school and fellow students. 

What is the ASB money used for? 

ASB funds are used for student activities and expenses that the students decide on. There are many worthwhile student activities, including student awards and recognition, activities, community aid, and projects.
