High school SeaPerch team asks board to allow planning for international competition trip
Summary
After taking first place at regional competitions, the high school SeaPerch team said it was invited to the international competition at the University of Maryland and requested board permission to begin planning an out-of-state trip for May 30—31; a motion to allow planning was made.
The Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah High School SeaPerch robotics team told the school board it has been invited to the international SeaPerch competition at the University of Maryland and asked permission to start planning an out-of-state trip for May 30—31.
A student representative, Jason, said the team placed first at regional competitions (Green Bay and at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee) and described the three-component scoring (driving courses, obstacle/mission performance and a team presentation) that together determine overall placement. "We are invited again to the international competition at the University of Maryland," Jason said.
Board members asked about extra activities while the team is in Maryland and staff said families typically combine the trip with limited tours and memorial visits; this year the emphasis will be primarily on the competition. The board member present moved to "allow the SeaPerch team to begin planning for their trip," and the motion was placed on the record; the transcript does not record a roll-call vote or final tally.
Next step: staff will work with families on logistics and bring any expense or travel approvals to the board if required.
