Board approves overnight student trip to Montreal for French program
Summary
The Timberlane Regional School District board approved an overnight trip to Montreal for French‑program students (grades 8–12) May 17–19, 2025. Board members noted fundraising plans and past positive experiences and voted to approve the request after a motion and second.
The board approved a request for an overnight student trip to Montreal for students in the district’s French program. Administrators said the trip is a recurring annual opportunity; in‑meeting materials initially listed grades inconsistently but the presenter corrected the eligible grades to 8–12.
A board member moved to approve the trip for May 17–19, 2025; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor. Board discussion noted that fundraising (bake sales and other food sales) has historically offset some student costs and that informational meetings will be held for participating families.
Student representatives and past participants described the trip as a strong language‑immersion experience. The board did not attach additional conditions beyond the usual permission and fundraising expectations.
