Board gives concept approval for high‑school music and drama trip to New York City
Summary
Board granted concept approval for a student music/drama trip to New York City during April vacation; presenters said the trip would be funded by students and fundraising, would not be a performance, and typically brought about 45 students on prior trips.
Board members gave concept approval for a proposed out‑of‑state educational trip that would take music and drama students to New York City during April vacation.
The trip presenter described cultural and educational activities including visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, tours of performance venues, and up to three Broadway shows; the presenter said the trip "would not cost the school anything" and would be funded by student fundraising and parent payments, with support available for students with financial hardship.
Board members asked which grades would be eligible (presenter said primarily music and theater students, open to others if space remains), discussed past participation (about 45 students attended in 2019) and chaperone ratios (presenter aims for roughly 4:1). The chair called for concept approval so organizers could begin fundraising and planning; the board moved, seconded and recorded approval to proceed with concept planning.
The board directed the presenter to follow the district’s out‑of‑state trip form and return with a formal proposal and cost estimate once student interest and fundraising viability are clearer.
