School committee approves DECA students’ overnight trip to DECA International
Summary
The Groton‑Dunstable School Committee approved an overnight field trip for DECA students to attend DECA International, including seven leadership spots and two students who qualified for internationals, during the March 26 meeting.
The Groton‑Dunstable Regional School Committee voted to approve an overnight field trip for the district’s DECA chapter to attend DECA International in Florida, the committee said during its March 26 meeting.
Lynette Fisher, the DECA advisor, told the committee she stepped in to advise the club this year and reported the team’s competitive results and officer gains. “Sandeep Gouda, a senior, qualified in role play of marketing communication systems, and sophomore Sophia West in principles of entrepreneurship,” Fisher said, adding that both students’ state results earned them spots at the international competition. Fisher also said the chapter secured seven leadership spots this year by increasing membership, performing community service and supporting DECA events.
Fisher described community support for the program, saying volunteers from the school and local businesses judged competitions and helped students prepare. The committee moved and seconded the trip approval; a roll call recorded the motion as approved. No conditions, trip cost breakdowns or chaperone lists were recorded in the transcript.
The approved participant list includes two students who qualified through state competition plus additional students and leadership participants; Fisher said she planned to take five other seniors and one sophomore and one junior who may serve as next year’s officers. The transcript does not include a detailed budget, fundraising plan or parental consent details for the trip.
