Board approves student trips: Japan exchange, Kings Island and cross‑country training
Loading...
Summary
The board approved eight high school students traveling to Japan in July, a seventh‑grade team visit to Kings Island for a science competition, and a cross‑country high‑altitude training trip to Colorado; most trip costs are covered by students or teams with limited district expense.
The Wabash City Schools board approved multiple student travel requests during the meeting.
International exchange: The board approved a trip for eight high school Japanese language students to travel to "Gun An Prefecture" from July 7–12, 2026. The board heard that the trip is an opportunity for cultural exchange, that students help fund the trip and that the city provides some support; the district thanked staff who will chaperone.
Seventh‑grade trip: The board approved a day trip for the seventh‑grade science roller‑coaster project winners to travel to Kings Island in Ohio. The trip is scheduled to depart at 6:00 a.m. and return the same day; board members clarified that there would be multiple winners and the board approved the motion.
Athletics travel: The board approved the cross‑country team's trip to Colorado for high‑altitude training camp. Staff said the team covers all expenses, including gas, and asked to use an activity bus and trailer; the board approved the request.
Each trip was approved by voice vote; where district costs exist staff described them (for example, city support and district‑paid elements for the Japan trip and district use of transportation resources for athletic trips).
