Board approves JAG national trip and JROTC Mount Man March for Hickman County students
Loading...
Summary
The board approved travel for a student to attend the JAG National Conference in Salt Lake City and approved the HCHS JROTC Mount Man Memorial March trip to Gatlinburg in September, with chaperone and logistics described in the motions.
The Hickman County School Board approved two student travel requests: a JAG national-competition trip to Salt Lake City and a JROTC Mount Man Memorial March trip to Gatlinburg.
Emily Bragg, a senior at Pick n County High School, told the board she had advanced from regional and state competitions and had the opportunity to compete at nationals; she asked for permission to travel to Salt Lake City, and staff described chaperone and logistics. A motion to approve the JAG trip carried.
Separately, a first sergeant representing Hickman County High School’s JROTC program asked for approval to attend the Mount Man Memorial March in Gatlinburg in September, describing fundraising needs, the educational aims of the event (teamwork, perseverance, interaction with gold-star families), transportation plans (vans and parent chaperones) and required waivers. The board moved and seconded the JROTC request and approved it.
Staff noted JAG and the school would coordinate hotel and flight arrangements and that Kenley’s mother — described as an employee at Hickman County Middle School — would serve as chaperone for the JAG trip. For JROTC, the instructor said permission slips, waivers and an itinerary are included in the program packet and that fundraising will support participation.
