Summary

The board unanimously approved the Taos High Educators Rising chapter to travel to the national conference in Portland, Oregon (June 19–23, 2026) with at least two chaperones; board asked for confirmation of male chaperone and presentation on return.

Taos High School’s Educators Rising chapter received board approval Feb. 11 to attend the national conference in Portland, Oregon.

Student president Joshua Sullivan and advisors described past competitive success and sought permission to travel June 19–23, 2026 for national contests. Trustees sought clarification about the correct dates (presentation and letter had mismatched dates; students confirmed the corrected travel dates), the identity of chaperones and logistics. Superintendent Layton recommended approval provided the dates and chaperone arrangements are correct.

A motion to approve the student travel passed on a roll call with all voting trustees recorded as yes. The board encouraged the group to report back with highlights after the conference and requested the district be updated on chaperone arrangements before travel.
