Board asked to permit planning for out-of-state college visits for seniors; motion seconded, vote not recorded
Summary
A staff member reviewed prior out-of-state college visits, said most of the senior class is Native and that Indian Ed funding covers most costs, and the board made and seconded a motion allowing staff to plan potential out-of-state college trips; required activity-request packets and eligibility checks remain before final approval.
A presenter recapped a previous out-of-state college trip (Northern Arizona University and Grand Canyon University) and requested board support to plan future out-of-state visits for seniors, citing that 90'plus percent of the current senior class are Native students and that Indian Education funding covers the majority of costs.
Board members discussed student interest, academic eligibility and logistics including possible flight or partner-university transportation; one member moved to allow planning for out-of-state trips and another seconded the motion. The board emphasized that additional steps remain: collecting student interest, confirming academic eligibility, preparing activity-request packets, obtaining transportation details and final approval from administration and the board.
The transcript records the motion and a second but does not show a recorded final vote or an outcome; staff noted that even if the board gives general approval to plan, each trip will still require the standard approvals and an activity request packet.
