Summary

The Rockport School Committee approved a request to take 25 middle‑school drama students to the Seacoast Rep Theater in New Hampshire with three chaperones; the trip was described as $20 per student unless scholarships are needed and will use Rockport buses.

Superintendent Mark Branko presented a field trip request from Mr. McCarthy for 25 students in grades 6–8 to attend the Seacoast Rep Theater in New Hampshire with three chaperones and district buses. "25 students between 6th grade and 8th grade will be going. 3 chaperones, $20 per student unless we need to scholarship. Our Rockport buses will be taking them," Branko said.

Vice chair Nicole Alterri moved to approve the out‑of‑state trip and the motion was seconded by Chair Amy Oakes. The chair called for the vote; two committee members were recorded saying "Aye" aloud and the chair declared the motion passed unanimously on the record. The superintendent noted that, under policy, out‑of‑state travel requires committee approval and that any scholarship needs will be addressed if families require assistance.

No travel vendor or overnight lodging was described in the record; staff said they would research the exact Portsmouth/Seacoast Rep venue details and provide logistics if needed.
