Board to consider Black Student Union request to fund half of museum trip
Summary
Trustees said a funding request from the Black Student Union to cover half the cost of a February trip to the Charles H. Wright Museum will be added to the Feb. 5 agenda after staff confirm final costs and bus pricing; some students could not afford the $13 group ticket.
Board members discussed an email from the Black Student Union president requesting district support to fund half of a proposed field trip to the Charles H. Wright African-American History Museum during Black History Month.
A trustee said the email was forwarded late and the request did not make the current agenda; staff said they will add the item to the Feb. 5 meeting once final figures and bus pricing are available. Trustees noted the club priced tickets at about $13 per student at the group rate and said some students could not afford the fee; the club asked district help so the trip could proceed.
Staff said the request likely falls below formal action thresholds but the board requested the item be placed on the Feb. 5 agenda so trustees can consider the request with final numbers. The superintendent and staff will forward the club's information and cost breakdown to trustees before that meeting.
