Board approves rocketry team travel to Sheboygan for national qualifier
Summary
The Yamhill‑Carlton School District board approved out‑of‑state travel for 16 students to the Rock for Schools competition in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, May 6–11; airfare and hotel are 95% funded and the team will continue fundraising for transport on the ground.
The Yamhill‑Carlton School District board approved a request for the high school rocketry team to travel to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, May 6–11 for the Rock for Schools competition and a NASA student-launch qualifying opportunity.
The presenting staff member told the board the trip includes 16 students and that "the airfare and hotel are, 95% funded currently," with additional fundraising planned to cover rental vehicles for the group. A board motion to approve the out‑of‑state travel was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.
Board members asked about supervision and logistics; administrators said two staff chaperones will attend and the trip will be managed within district procedures for extracurricular travel. The trip was described as both a competitive event and a program qualifier that could preserve a two‑year window of eligibility for future NASA‑related launch opportunities.
