TSA adviser seeks board approval for six students to attend national competition in Nashville
Summary
TSA adviser described students’ regional and national placements and requested board approval for an overnight trip to the national TSA conference in Nashville (June 26–July 2); most trip costs are out‑of‑pocket for families.
TSA adviser Mr. Pennington presented a request for up to six students and advisers to attend the national Technology Student Association conference (June 26–July 2) in Nashville, Tennessee.
Pennington summarized recent TSA successes: multiple students qualified for nationals and two students were past first‑place national winners in architectural CAD and promotional design. He said the district’s in-house rule requires a first, second or third place finish to move to the next level; typically TSA trips are funded out‑of‑pocket by families and the district does not pay for teacher travel. Board discussion corrected a typographical reference to “Nashville, PA” in the written materials and administration said trip logistics (hotel, meals) are paid by families and factored into student trip fees. No vote was taken at the meeting; the trip request will be presented on the May legislative agenda for approval.
