School committee approves overnight DECA trip for qualifying students
Summary
The committee unanimously approved an overnight trip for four DECA students advancing to the next round of competition in Boston; teacher Fred Lehman will chaperone and student-activity funds plus transportation will cover costs.
The Wayland School Committee approved an overnight DECA trip for four students who qualified for a regional competition round in Boston.
Fred Lehman, the high school business teacher who launched the new DECA chapter, told the committee the chapter—about 20–24 students in its first year—had four students advance to the next competition. He said student-activities funds and parents will cover transportation and costs; the trip includes evening networking events integral to the competition experience.
A committee member moved to approve the overnight-trip request; the motion was seconded and the committee voted in favor. Committee members asked administrators to invite students and the advisor to report back on the competition after the trip.
The approval covers transportation and a one- to two-night stay in Boston; the committee recorded no votes in opposition.
