Board approves LHS overnight trip to Concord youth-in-government program
Summary
The Laconia School Board unanimously approved an overnight field trip for Laconia High School students to attend a youth-in-government program in Concord, citing programming needs that require an overnight stay.
The Laconia School Board on Feb. 12 unanimously approved an overnight field trip request for Laconia High School students to attend a youth‑in‑government program in Concord, 7‑0.
District staff described the trip as part of a leadership experience tied to state government and the legislative process. Administrators said some scheduled activities require students to be present across two days, and that an overnight stay both reduces travel costs and allows students to participate in evening activities and collaborative sessions with students from other schools.
The request was made by school staff and presented during the meeting as a standard overnight field trip for high‑school programming. Board members asked clarifying questions about supervision and the program organizer; staff identified the trip as part of a youth‑in‑government group and said librarian Karen Abraham and social studies department head Maggie Roberts are overseeing the program.
Board members approved the request without modification; the recorded vote was seven in favor, zero opposed.
