Committee signals support for Libertyville High School girls flag football overnight trip; full board approval pending
Summary
Coaches sought expedited committee support for an overnight team‑building trip to Camp Duncan; the committee indicated consensus support but formal approval must occur at a board meeting because this is a Category 1 ed tour.
Committee members discussed a proposed overnight trip for the Libertyville High School girls flag football team to Camp Duncan. The trip is classified as an ed tour because it is not tied to an IHSA competitive event and will include team‑building and culture activities.
Tom (presenter) said the team plans to leave on the 16th and return on the 17th; the LHS athletic director and LHS principal have approved the trip. "The kids come back, really connected to each other and focused on having a great year," Tom said, describing prior similar overnight team events for other sports. Because the trip was scheduled before the next full board meeting, staff asked the committee whether there were any objections to moving forward; committee members stated no concerns and expressed support by consensus. Staff emphasized that formal board approval will still be required at the next board meeting.
The committee asked staff to limit such expedited approvals in the future and to adhere to established procedures. No vote was recorded at the committee meeting; staff will present the overnight trip request to the full board for formal approval.
