The education system in the United States is under pressure from a variety of sources to reform and improve the delivery of educational services to students. Change across a system as complex and dynamic as the educational system requires a systemic approach and requires the participation or buy-in of all participants and stakeholders. This article examines the importance of including students as stakeholders in systemic change efforts. The analysis of this research, framed in the context of including stakeholders in change efforts, will create an opportunity for conversation of ways in which to bring students' voices into school reform.
