Summary

The Committee of the Whole reviewed a recommendation for Columbia River High School’s girls basketball team to attend the Cactus Jam tournament in Phoenix, with funding provided by boosters and families.

A presenter recommended approval of an out-of-state extracurricular trip for Columbia River High School’s girls basketball team to the Cactus Jam tournament in Phoenix. The presenter said the trip would include supervision and a chaperoning plan and that funding would come primarily from the Columbia River Athletic Boosters and from individual families and students who can contribute; the presenter said this was not a district-funded trip.

The presenter noted the tournament fields approximately 22 teams from around the United States and that the trip would take place over the December holiday break. Committee members responded with brief supportive remarks; no formal motion or recorded vote appears in the transcript excerpt.

Any formal approval or required waivers would be recorded in the board packet or a subsequent board action; the transcript shows this was presented as a recommendation to the committee.
