High school government students can study the workings of a state legislature in a textbook but until they see the process up close if they really want to understand and appreciate the hard work of lawmakers.
Kayleb Brozik, a senior at Winner High School, had that change as he served as a page in the South Dakota House of Representatives.
He was sponsored by Rep. Julie Bartling of Gregory. Brozik served as a page from Jan. 26 to Feb. 3.
During the legislative session, high school students are appointed to serve as pages both in the House and the Senate. According to Brozik, page duties include distributing mail to the legislators, coping the bill under consideration and placing documents in each lawmaker’s binder. The pages are also on duty in the committee rooms where lawmakers hold smaller meetings.
Brozik learned he was approved and was being sponsored by Rep. Bartling. “I was very honored to sponsor Kayleb. It was great to watch him work around the House floor and in the committees,” Bartling said. “He was very prompt, courteous and helpful to so many. Wherever Kayleb decides to go in his future endeavors, I know he will succeed. His work ethic is second to none and he surely has made his family very proud,” said Bartling.
