The Rochester City School District Student Leadership Congress (SLC) is a body of student leaders representing their respective high schools and serves as the voice of students to the Superintendent, Board of Education, District Administration, and Community Leaders. Participating members offer their perspectives on education policies, school climate and inform their administrators about relevant citywide school issues.
