Blackstone Valley Technical student Ted Floyd was sworn in as a member of the Governor’s Statewide Youth Council. Ted is one of 28 students in the state of Massachusetts on the Council.
Ted has been working this past year as part of the Council but had not been officially sworn in until June 2014. As a member of the Council Ted attended meetings from the Cape to Lowell to Springfield once a month and is working on a number of youth initiatives.
Ted was sworn in by Northboro Town Clerk Andrew Doyd.
Governor Patrick created the Governor’s Statewide Youth Council in response to a 2008 outbreak of youth-related violence in the Greater Boston area and in order to incorporate youth voices into the policy-making process. Since that time, the Youth Council’s mission has been to advise the Governor in making decisions and setting policy to improve the lives of young people throughout the Commonwealth.
Ted is the son of Donnamarie and Jim Floyd of Upton and will be entering his Junior year at BVT this fall.
