Board to consider overnight educational tours for two girls basketball teams this summer
Summary
District staff told trustees that Libertyville and Vernon Hills girls basketball teams plan overnight travel this summer to team camps at Purdue University and the University of Wisconsin; staff said the required paperwork and insurance are in order.
District staff told trustees the two athletic educational tours are for summer team camps that require overnight travel and are therefore classified as "educational tours" under district policy.
Staff said the Libertyville High School girls basketball team will travel to a team camp at Purdue University and the Vernon Hills girls basketball team will travel to a team camp at the University of Wisconsin. Administrators reported they had reviewed required paperwork, insurance and coach-submitted documentation and that those materials were in order.
Committee members were informed that the district typically discusses educational tours in committee and then votes to approve them at the regular board meeting; staff said the approval item will be placed on the board agenda and that trustees have the ability to approve or deny educational tours during that formal meeting.
No substantive debate occurred and no votes were taken at the committee level.
