Committee approves proposed study‑abroad trip for French students
Summary
The committee approved a teacher‑led study‑abroad and exchange trip for juniors and seniors in the French program, and discussed funding strategies to ensure equitable access for students.
The committee approved a study‑abroad/exchange trip proposed by French teacher Rachel, who said the core participants are strong language students (many AP or seal recipients) and the target group size is 11–14 students to reduce per‑student costs.
Rachel and committee members discussed funding options to ensure access for students who cannot afford the trip, referencing prior grants from the Virtu Hill fund and a School Center discretionary fund as possible sources. Staff also noted that travel-club models could rotate language trips every other year to broaden access.
A motion to approve the trip carried; staff will pursue fundraising and discretionary grants to subsidize students and will report fundraising plans back to the committee.
