Board approves 8th-grade Universal Studios trip and extracurricular travel for CHS robotics and band
Summary
Trustees approved an 8th-grade Universal Studios field trip and sanctioned CHS First Robotics and band travel; the board noted fundraising and program rationale during the approvals.
The Calipatria Unified School District board approved multiple student travel requests at its March 9 meeting.
The 8th grade promotional trip to Universal Studios on May 27, 2026, was approved after Ms. Lopez told the board "the club has raised 14 thousand dollars, they have enough money to go to Universal Studios." The motion passed 7–0. Trustees also approved the Calipatria High School First Robotics team's travel to San Diego (March 20–22, 2026) and the CHS band trip to Knott's Berry Farm on March 30, 2026. ASB Advisor Edgardo Rosales and band staff highlighted the student‑performance and program development reasons for the trips.
Board approval followed staff and advisor assurances about funding and supervision; the district's field‑trip policy requires board review for overnight and out‑of‑state travel.
