Board approves HOSA club for Osage City High School, pending negotiations
Summary
Students presented plans to start a HOSA (Future Health Professionals) chapter; the board approved the student organization pending negotiations and sponsorships, after discussing dues, likely costs and possible partnerships.
Students from Osage City High School presented a proposal to start a HOSA (Future Health Professionals) chapter and told the board about student interest and proposed activities. "We already have 20 students interested," presenter Brinley Harmon said during the slideshow pitch, and explained benefits such as leadership opportunities, competitions and local healthcare partnerships to give students career exposure.
Board members and staff asked logistical and funding questions, including whether student dues could be covered by the district (staff said the district cannot pay student dues) and what start-up costs the district might absorb for travel and competition registration. The board then heard a motion to approve "new high school student organization HOSA, pending negotiations and sponsorship program." The motion was seconded and recorded as approved by voice vote. Staff noted they would continue working on sponsor arrangements and school-side logistics before formal implementation.
