"OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) — Maximus Simmons, an 18-year-old senior at Oakland High School, is currently leading several civic initiatives to expand youth representation in local government. Simmons serves as a second-term student board member for the Oakland Unified School District and is the founder of the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council."

"In Oakland, student members have used that power to make real change. Several years ago, they helped lead the charge to get 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote in school board elections. And today, one of these young Oakland leaders has his sights set on something new."
"Morris Knight speaks with Maximus Simmons, student director for the Oakland Unified School District. The conversation focuses on youth leadership, student voice, positive change and building unity instead of division in public education — specifically through the lens of a high school student serving on the Oakland Unified School District Board."
