Board asked to approve Pentagon performance trip for high‑school dance group
Summary
District staff said the Department of Defense invited the high‑school dance group to perform at the Pentagon for Native American Heritage Month and offered to fund travel and lodging for 8–10 students and three chaperones; board approval was requested for travel authorization.
Miss Jolene told the board the Department of Defense invited the district’s high‑school dance group to perform at the Pentagon’s 2024 Native American Heritage Month celebration and indicated the Department would cover transportation, lodging and most expenses for the core group. “They are willing to cover between eight to 10 students and three adult chaperones,” Miss Jolene said, and requested board approval to authorize out‑of‑state travel for up to those students, with up to two additional students to attend at district expense or via fundraising.
Board members discussed the scope of approval (confirming whether the motion covers eight or 10 students) and funding for any additional students. The travel request was taken up in regular business and linked to fundraising options for any extra participants; no final recorded vote appears in the provided transcript excerpt.
