Stow-Munroe Falls board approves extended trip for cheer teams to state competition
Summary
At a Feb. 19 special meeting, the Stow-Munroe Falls City School District Board of Education approved an extended field trip for its middle- and high-school cheer teams to attend state competitions the coming weekend; the motion passed with one abstention.
The Stow-Munroe Falls City School District Board of Education approved an extended field trip Thursday to send the district’s middle- and high-school cheerleading teams to state competitions the weekend of Feb. 21–22, 2026.
Dr. Gould presented the request to the special board at the district board office and said the district needed approval before the board’s regular meeting on Feb. 23 because the competitions were scheduled for the coming weekend. "I'm asking the board to approve this field trip before our regular scheduled meeting of February 23 because it's taking place this weekend," Dr. Gould said.
A board member moved to approve the recommendation; a second followed. During discussion, one board member praised the students’ achievement: "I just think it's fantastic that they've made it to this point, and I would never dream of denying them the chance to go," the board member said, adding congratulations to the coaches and both the middle- and high-school teams.
The board conducted a roll-call vote on the field trip approval. The motion carried, with multiple members voting "Aye" and one member, Suladonic, recorded as abstaining. Immediately after the vote the board moved to adjourn; the meeting ended at 7:33 a.m.
The approval allows district athletes to travel to the state competitions; the board did not discuss funding details or transportation logistics in the special meeting. Those details were not specified in the record and may be addressed at the regular meeting on Feb. 23.
