Most schools are pretty much given absolute power. You also kind of cant question them even when they are doing something clearly breaking laws. Even when they have pedophile teachers public schools will often just move the teacher to another location, and a lot of teachers cant be fired in some cases because of tenner and teacher unions. If a parent wants to make a complaint a lot of times they have to go straight to the super attendant if they want anything done, and there are schools that parents have complained about staff that is very rude or just not willing to help parents at all. A lot of times staff is lazy or abusive, and they often have very extreme policy's of how to punish students which upset parents but we cant really question them, and even if we do that parent is going to have to take that school to court and probably has a lot less money to do so. So why not have a students union for everyone in HS, Middle school, and Elementary, which students can speak with and issue all the complaints to? This would add a middle man, and give the students who have no right but are required to attend these places by law. We also do not have to do a new organization to do so, we cant simply add it as a separate department for child welfare office.

Can deal with issues of

*Unsafe work environment
*Rights to move up in classes
*Sexual harassment cases
*teacher/student appointment for transcripts
and other things after graduation
*Abusive or negligent staff and teachers
 
Um... how about no.

We already have people who can arrest parents for being abusive, we dont really have anything regulating schools or teachers.

nothing except school boards
and the superintendent of schools
and your elected local representatives
otherwise there is nothing - with some exceptions

what grade are you in?

The School board is not obligated to care and often doesn't.
The purpose of this was to have someone other than the school themselves regulating this so stuff gets done.
You cant go to school staff if school staff simply does not care.
