District Student Representative
District student representatives are the presiding student representatives of a city, a district and partly a government district. They only exist in this form in North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria .
Bavaria
A district student representative ( BSSP , Bezi ) and his deputy are elected in Bavaria by the student representatives of the schools in the supervisory district within the framework of the district debate (BAT). The districts correspond to the seven Bavarian administrative districts, whereby the administrative district of Upper Bavaria was divided into the two school supervisory districts "Oberbayern-Ost" and "-West" (this division also divides the city of Munich ) because of its size at the secondary schools and grammar schools . Thus there are eight district student representatives for these types of schools. The FOS / BOS only have three districts due to the smaller number of schools. At the secondary schools there is also a city / district level with their own student representatives in order to do justice to the high number of schools. For the six types of school (special school, grammar school, secondary school, secondary school, BOS / FOS and vocational schools) there are a total of 40 district student representatives and 40 deputies in Bavaria.
The district student representatives are elected for a year approximately one month after the election of the student representatives at the individual schools. In practice, district student representatives and deputies consider each other to have equal rights and both call each other district student representatives.
According to § 62 and 62a of the BayEUG and § 13 of the GSO, the district student representative has the following tasks:
- Without prejudice to the overall management by the ministerial commissioner, he will chair the district debate.
- He is authorized, with the consent of the ministerial officer, to give information to the student representatives of the schools in the district, insofar as it is useful for the exchange of experiences and the work of student responsibility at the individual school.
- He encourages an exchange of experiences on matters relating to the respective type of school.
- He or the deputy participates in the regional student conference.
- He has the right to be elected by the regional student conference as the regional student representative or deputy regional student representative.
- He can submit proposals to the state student conference where they can be accepted as positions in the state student council in Bavaria .
In addition, many district school representatives are involved in the Bavarian State School Students' Association (amalgamation of the Bavarian district school representatives), which supports the work of the State School Council in Bavaria as an association.
District student representatives have been officially elected for all types of schools in Bavaria since 2008; in 2007 there was a pilot project in Swabia. Before that, they were only recognized by the Ministry of Education for high schools.
The Free State of Bavaria bears the necessary costs of performing the tasks of student co-responsibility at the city, district, district and state level within the framework of the available budget, regulates § 62a paragraph 10 of the BayEUG.
NRW
The district student representative is the highest student representative at city, district, district level and sometimes also at government district level (rule in NRW). If the administrative district or district is a district, the city or district also has a district student council, headed by the district student representative. The district student representative is authorized to give instructions to the board and the affiliated district student representatives in the respective district / administrative district.
However, it is a matter of the statutes of the respective district student council to have a BSSP as chairman of the district council or representative of the district student council. You will i. d. Usually elected annually at the District Delegate Conference (BDK for short), which also meets at least twice a year.
At the moment, the district student councils of the independent cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf, Bonn, Dortmund, Solingen, Krefeld and the districts of Lippe, Minden-Lübbecke, Wesel and Rhein-Kreis Neuss are the only ones that do not have a district student representative.
The only district student councils in North Rhine-Westphalia that have such an office are the BSV Essen, BSV Münster, BSV Paderborn, BSV in the Aachen city region, BSV Herford, BSV Steinfurt. This has a 1st and a 2nd district student spokesperson, who at the same time hold the office of executive chairperson.
There every board member has equal rights, whereby the internal coordination is carried out by a coordinating member, similar to the state school student representation in North Rhine-Westphalia. Outwardly, however, this coordinating member does not appear in any particular way. In the Minden-Lübbecke district, a board spokesman represents the work of the district board, but has equal rights on the board like all other board members. The highest representative here is the president, who represents the student body internally and externally.
On the one hand there are the so-called district student councils. They are also responsible for assistance management in the FSIO. You support district school spokespersons, BSV managing directors, BSV chairmen or executive chairmen in management work.
The 1st district student representative has the following representatives and employees:
- 2. District student representative
- Deputy District Student Representative
- Assistant to the district student representative
- District Student Council
The District Student Representative Council (BSV-R) is a member of the management and the direct representative of the district student representative or the deputy district student representative and represents them in the event that the 1st district student representative, 2nd district student representative and deputy district student representative are absent.
The assistant of the 1st or 2nd district student representative (AiBS) remains in his actual task of assisting if all district student representatives fail.
