Committee approves forwarding French exchange and FBLA national trip requests to legislative agenda
Summary
Upper Dublin staff presented two student travel items May 7 and the education committee forwarded both — a French exchange and an FBLA national competition trip — to the legislative meeting for approval.
Upper Dublin School District staff presented two student travel items May 7 and the education committee voted to forward both to the legislative meeting for formal approval.
The first item is a proposed French exchange program scheduled in an every‑other‑year rotation; staff said participating students will spend four days in Paris as part of the itinerary. The total indicated cost to families for the French trip was presented as approximately $4,200 per student; staff said the district typically requests a board subsidy to reduce family costs and to cover transportation and related expenses.
The second item was a travel request for the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) club to attend the national competition in Anaheim, California from June 27 to July 3. Staff confirmed the FBLA delegation includes finalists; the presentation indicated six students will attend.
Committee members asked about district financial support and the committee noted the district’s usual practice of requesting a board supplement to reduce student costs for international or national travel. Both trip requests will appear on the legislative agenda for final approval and any board subsidy.
