Board approves senior-class overnight trip with conduct caveat
Summary
The Fort Benton board approved a two-day overnight senior-class trip proposed for April 9–10 after the senior class president presented an itinerary; the board added that the privilege may be revoked for misconduct before the trip.
The Fort Benton School Board on the public meeting approved a two-day overnight senior-class trip after the senior-class president presented the proposed itinerary and answered scheduling questions.
Presenter speaker 4 introduced Landon Goode as the senior class president; Goode asked the board for permission for an overnight trip roughly modeled on last year’s itinerary. Board members flagged conflicts with spring athletics and a music festival on the proposed April 9–10 dates and asked the class to reconfirm travel timing and athletic schedules.
Committee member (speaker 7) moved to approve the request "with the understanding that this is a privilege" and warned that the board reserves the right to revoke it if behavioral concerns arise before the trip. The motion was seconded and the chair called the vote; the motion carried.
Board members said they will work with the senior class to resolve date conflicts and to communicate expectations for student conduct. The board did not specify transportation vendor or costs during the discussion; those details were left to the class and staff to finalize.
The board took no further action on this item; staff and student leaders will finalize logistics and report back if dates or plans change.
