Summary
Trustees approved out-of-state travel requests for New Caney High and West Fork High cheer teams to attend the UCA National Championship in Orlando (Feb. 5–9); the district said student fundraising and boosters will cover costs and school administrators and coaches will attend.
The New Caney ISD Board approved two out-of-state travel requests on Nov. 17 for cheer teams that earned berths to the UCA National Championship in Orlando. Amber Beard presented the New Caney High School request, saying the team qualified and that 27 athletes plan to attend; she said the Booster Club and student fundraising will cover costs and that one administrator and two coaches will chaperone the trip. Bridgette Heiney presented a similar request for West Fork High School; she confirmed the same dates and said the costs would be covered by athletes and fundraising.
Board members asked about how many days students would miss; presenters said the trip would require three school days away. Each travel request was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting.
The district did not provide a per-student dollar total in the public presentation; presenters described fundraising and family contributions as the primary funding sources.
