Board approves elementary and high‑school out‑of‑state field trips
Summary
The board approved Henry Park Elementary’s visit to Sauder Village and the Angola High School band trip to Florida; charter buses and band boosters were described as transportation and funding sources.
The board voted Sept. 16 to approve two student field trips: Henry Park Elementary’s annual visit to Sauder Village and an Angola High School band trip to Florida that will take roughly 40 students and include clinics and workshops.
Principal Stellhorn of Henry Park requested permission for the elementary trip and listed relevant social‑studies standards in the trip packet, according to the staff summary. The band trip was described by staff as occurring around Thanksgiving and organized with the assistance of band parents and the band boosters; staff said charter buses will provide transportation and that parents/boosters will cover trip costs.
A motion to approve both out‑of‑state trips passed 7–0. Staff said the band director, Mr. Myers, has provided logistics and chaperone arrangements and that the district will require sufficient parent chaperones for the Florida trip.
Discussion only: staff presented the trip purposes, standards alignment and logistics. Formal action: board approved both trip requests 7–0.
