School committee approves seventh-grade trip to Providence and high-school trip to Athens
Summary
The Mendon‑Upton School Committee approved a seventh‑grade field trip to Trinity Repertory Company in Providence ($40 per student) and a high‑school trip to Athens in April 2027 following brief presentations and unanimous votes.
The Mendon‑Upton Regional School District School Committee voted to approve two out‑of‑state student trips during its meeting.
A motion to approve the seventh‑grade trip to see A Christmas Carol at the Trinity Repertory Company in Providence carried unanimously. The committee was told the annual curricular trip will cost $40 per student, which includes a pizza lunch back at the school after the performance.
The committee also approved a proposed April 2027 high‑school trip to Athens that includes historical site visits and a multi‑island boat cruise. Presenters said most meals are included in the trip price and that students would depart on the Thursday evening before the school vacation and return on Saturday evening; committee members discussed plans for class‑day coverage and logistics. The committee approved the Athens trip by voice vote.
Both votes were procedural approvals after brief staff presentations; the record does not show any recorded roll‑call tallies or dissenting votes.
