Monroe staff propose new two-page form to require board review before overnight student trips
Summary
The district will present a standardized two-page administrative form for overnight trips so the board can review requests before student fundraising or recruitment begins; staff said the change is intended to avoid last-minute approvals that limit board discretion.
Superintendent Shaw said the district completed a review after a recent surprise overnight request and is moving to require building administrators to submit a simple, two-page form for all overnight trips before any student-facing conversations or fundraising begins.
Staff described the process: principals and building administrators will complete the form and submit it for executive-director review; once the district has confirmed the administrative packet, the board will receive the form months ahead of any trip so trustees can approve or deny before students are engaged. A trustee called the system “very logical,” and staff said no policy changes are needed — this is an administrative reinforcement of existing guidelines.
