Summary

The committee granted initial approval for a proposed Biddeford High School overnight trip to Italy and authorized staff to circulate fundraising/sign-up materials required by the vendor; motion passed unanimously by members present.

The school committee on March 13 gave initial approval for Biddeford High School teachers to begin fundraising and planning for an overnight student trip to Italy.

The request was presented as a first reading so the tour operator, EF Tours, could release fundraising and sign-up packets. A committee member said the Italian classes at the high school have drawn strong interest and that chaperones would be assigned based on final participant numbers.

John moved the first-reading approval; Marie seconded. The committee voted unanimously in favor of the motion among members present. The committee recorded that final trip authorization and logistics (fundraising totals, chaperone list, full itinerary) will return to the committee before tickets are purchased or travel is finalized.
