You have real power
This school is not run by adults on behalf of students. Every student has an equal voice in decisions that affect the school — including rules, budget, use of spaces, and the direction of projects. Decisions are made together in weekly open meetings, where every voice counts the same regardless of age or experience. This is not symbolic participation. If you propose something and the group agrees, it happens. If you disagree with a rule, you can challenge it. Power here is real, and so is the responsibility that comes with it.
