Greater Lowell Regional Vocational Technical committee approves dean's two-day out-of-state training

The Greater Lowell Regional Vocational Technical committee approved a request for Dean of Students Ron Vercelone to attend a two-day, out-of-state training in Vermont to renew his adventure course challenge certification. The travel cost for the trip was listed as $760.

Superintendent-Director Mister Richardson introduced the request at a special meeting and asked members for approval, saying, "I'm looking for your approval for our dean of students, mister Ron Vercelone, to attend a 2 day out of street out of state training to attend a lehi 2 training, to renew his certification in, adventure course challenge." The committee discussed no alternatives on the record and moved to vote.

The motion to approve the travel was moved and seconded on the floor (the transcript records that Matt Sheehan seconded the motion and that Lee Gitcheid supported it). Committee members indicated approval by voice. Members recorded on the meeting transcript as indicating approval include Lee Gitcheid, Matt Sheehan, Steve Nockel, Ralph Hogan, Mister Richardson, and Mister Moore; the motion was adopted and the meeting adjourned shortly afterward.

No statutes, ordinances, or grant sources were referenced during the discussion. The request was presented as a professional-development/training authorization and not tied on the record to a broader policy or budget amendment; the transcript lists a single line-item cost of $760 for travel related to the two-day training in Vermont.

The special meeting was brief and focused on this single substantive agenda item; no further follow-up tasks, implementation deadlines, or reporting requirements were stated in the transcript.
