Alexis Brown, a West Plains High School senior, recently participated in the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) Legislative Shadowing Project.
The program provides an opportunity for junior and senior high school students to spend a day with a state representative, a senator or other public official at the State Capitol. Brown spent the day with Representative David Evans. The students observe hearings, meetings, and public duties.
