Board approves Winter Park Middle School FFA overnight to Ontario for state leadership conference
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved Winter Park Middle School students to attend the Future Farmers of America 90th annual state leadership conference in Ontario, California, as an overnight trip; trustees praised the program as a learning opportunity.
The Buena Park School District governing board approved an overnight student trip for Winter Park Middle School to attend the Future Farmers of America (FFA) 90th annual state leadership conference in Ontario, California.
Trustees described the trip as a valuable opportunity for students to gain leadership experience and to travel beyond campus. "I just want to continue to encourage that kind of event ... I think it's a great opportunity and strongly in favor of it," a trustee said during discussion.
Why it matters: the board must approve out-of-district or overnight student travel. Trustees noted Winter Park is among the district's few middle schools still participating in FFA and signaled support for student leadership development.
The board approved the item on the action calendar; the record shows the motion carried without dissent. The agenda item identified the destination as Ontario, California, and the event as the FFA state leadership conference.
The board did not discuss funding details on the record; parents and staff are typically required to submit permission slips and follow district-approved travel procedures for chaperones, transportation and accommodation.
