Context and procedure Committee members discussed the DECA trip paperwork and noted that overnight non‑athletic trips typically include an established checklist of logistics and accommodations; the committee directed administration to ensure the checklist is completed for future submissions. For the DECA trip the committee noted the participants are a subset of the larger club (students who qualified for state competition).
