Summary
Coach Boyd’s request for an Oct. 4 cross‑country trip to Miramar Beach, Florida, was approved; the estimated per‑person cost (with chaperones) is $219 and fundraisers are planned to offset expenses.
The Greenwood District 51 board approved a request from Coach Boyd to take the cross‑country team to a meet in Miramar (Miramar Beach), Florida, on Oct. 4.
Coach Boyd and the superintendent told the board the trip is an opportunity for team bonding and competition. The administration is working on transportation and insurance; the board approved the request pending those arrangements. The meeting transcript included an estimated total cost of about $219 per person assuming full participation with two chaperones and a coach. Coach Boyd said students will be able to opt out and the team will raise funds (including a 5K on Aug. 31) to help offset costs.
A motion to approve the field trip was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The superintendent said the administration would continue working on logistics, transportation and insurance to finalize arrangements.
