Committee approves chaperone funding for boys indoor track team's trip to nationals
Summary
The committee approved district support for chaperone hotel rooms so a 4x200 boys indoor track team that qualified for nationals can attend; students and families will cover student room and meal costs and the athletic budget is the intended funding source.
The School Committee approved a request to fund chaperone hotel rooms so the boys indoor track 4x200 team can attend the national indoor track competition after meeting the qualifying standard.
Coach/representative Mr. Loggers told the committee the team set a school record and qualified for nationals and that the group hoped to bring four runners plus an alternate. Because the coach is female and the athletes are male, Mr. Loggers requested funding to cover two chaperone hotel rooms; he said families would pay for student rooms and meals. Committee members asked about nursing coverage and fundraising; Mr. Loggers said the athletic budget would be the primary funding source and that families declined further fundraising in favor of district support for the chaperones.
The committee voted to move the field‑trip request to the action portion of the agenda because of the tight timeline and later approved the motion. The motion passed with recorded yes votes from the members present.
The committee recorded no additional conditions to the approval and instructed athletic staff to proceed with logistical arrangements and processing of payment from the athletic budget.
