Baldwin County Welcomes Sarai Moss As Its First Student Board Representative

For years, the Baldwin County Board of Education has talked about the importance of student voice, not just in classrooms, but in the rooms where decisions are made.

On Tuesday, January 13, 2026, that vision officially became reality.

After a thoughtful and thorough selection process that included multiple interviews and student applications, the Board elected Sarai Moss, a Georgia College Early College program scholar, as Baldwin County’s first-ever Student Board of Education Representative.

In the essay that helped inform her selection, Moss wrote about education as something far bigger than grades or assessments.

“I truly believe that all the schools in our district are the foundation of everyone’s lives, especially our children,” Moss wrote. “I want to find out ways to make sure everyone receives resources, support, and more importantly, the encouragement they deserve.”

That philosophy resonated deeply with district leaders. Superintendent Kristina Brooks echoed those sentiments during the Board meeting.

As a Georgia College Early College program scholar in Baldwin High School, Moss brings a unique perspective to the Board, one that bridges multiple learning environments while remaining grounded in the shared experience of being a Baldwin County student.

“She is going to be a representative from preschool all the way to 12th grade,” Brooks said, “and a voice for our students and families and why we are here, to serve and to make a difference in the lives of our children.”

The creation of this position ensures Baldwin County’s ongoing commitment to growth, reflection, and community partnership. By welcoming a student voice into Board discussions, the district affirms what it has always believed: that students are not just recipients of education, but active participants in shaping its future.

We are proud to welcome Sarai Moss to the Baldwin County Board of Education and excited to see where this new chapter leads.
