Board approves three overnight sports camp trips for district teams
Summary
The board approved overnight trips for sideline cheer, wrestling and girls basketball teams to attend summer camps in Michigan and Ohio; staff said students will fundraise for trip costs where needed.
The Southgate Community School District Board of Education approved three student overnight trips May 13: sideline cheer to a summer camp at Michigan State University July 28–30; a wrestling camp in Urbana, Ohio (Jeff Jordan State Champ Camp, June 22–26); and a girls basketball camp at Northwood University in Midland, Michigan, July 15–17.
District staff described the camps as recurring opportunities that provide skill instruction and competition; presenters said the cheer and girls basketball teams attended the same camps last year. For the wrestling trip, staff said the per‑student cost is about $400 and that athletes will fundraise to cover costs.
Each trip was presented as an action item and approved by board motion (mover Dr. Pomponio; supporters recorded in the transcript). No conditions or amendments were recorded, and the board approved each motion by voice vote. No student names, exact fundraising targets, or traveler rosters were included in the recorded discussion.
