Summary
The board approved overnight student trips including robotics contests (Lehigh and possible Worlds), 12 KHS students attending the ACDA national choir in Providence, and a 2028 World War II study tour to Europe (London, Normandy, Paris, Munich, Salzburg).
The Kennett Consolidated School District board approved multiple student travel requests at its Feb. 9 meeting.
Robotics students asked for permission for two overnight trips — a Lehigh event in April and a potential Worlds competition April 28–May 3 if the team qualifies — and the board approved the requests under board policy 121. Students present described the program’s 15th season and fundraising logistics.
Mr. Batten requested approval for 12 Kennett High School students who made the American Choral Directors Association national choir to travel to Providence, R.I., later this month; the board approved that trip.
The board also approved an international World War II study tour proposed for spring break 2028 (April 6–15) to London, Normandy, Paris, Munich and Salzburg. The trip organizer said keeping the group to one bus (about 35 students) and providing two years to fundraise were priorities; he said the travel operator monitors global conditions and advised the organizers.
All the trip approvals were made by voice vote and recorded as carried.
