Spanish teacher Amanda Feltner presented a proposal on Nov. 10 to create a travel club that would take students to Spanish-speaking countries on an every-other-year schedule. Feltner proposed Puerto Rico as the inaugural destination in June 2027, and said she had contacted student-travel agencies and prepared potential itineraries and cost estimates.

Feltner asked the board to approve formation of the club but indicated it would not be a school-sponsored club. The board agreed to discuss the proposal further at the next work session; the minutes do not record a vote or further details about funding, chaperone requirements or enrollment limits.

Feltner will follow up with the administration and the board when more detailed cost and safety information is available.
