Board approves travel for superintendent and president to national dual-language conference
Summary
The Yakima School District board approved travel for Superintendent Green and Board President Walker to attend the La Cosecha National Dual Language Conference (Nov. 10–14, 2026) with fiscal impacts capped at $3,500 each; the president's trip passed with one abstention.
The Yakima School District board approved two travel requests to the La Cosecha National Dual Language Conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Superintendent Green requested board approval for travel Nov. 10–14, 2026, with fiscal impact not to exceed $3,500; the board moved, seconded and approved the superintendent's attendance.
A second motion asked the board to approve travel for Board President Walker for the same dates and not to exceed $3,500; the board approved the motion after discussion about a board-travel budget line, with a recorded tally of three in favor and one abstention.
Superintendent Green said he does not travel frequently and framed the request as an opportunity to strengthen district leadership for the growing dual-language program. Board members noted the district maintains a board travel line in its budget and that little of that line had been used in recent years.
