Teacher outlines expanded student trip to Europe; families asked to help close ~$600 fundraising gap
Summary
A teacher told the board that an approved school trip itinerary was expanded to four cities (Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Munich) and extended to 10 days; per-student cost rose to $4,044 and organizers said roughly $600 remains to be raised before the end of January payment deadline.
Rachel Brown, who introduced herself at the meeting, briefed the board on changes to a previously approved Germany program that she has assumed after the prior teacher left. The new itinerary covers four cities (Budapest, Vienna, Prague and Munich) over 10 days during spring break and includes six student participants.
Brown said the new itinerary brings the total cost to about $4,044 per student and that the trip requires a final payment by the end of January. She summarized prior fundraising and said the company absorbed some costs and that the group still needs roughly $600 total to close the gap. Board members asked about chaperones and fundraising options; Brown said one parent will attend as an adult participant and that she would provide fundraising details to district staff for broader community support.
The board did not take formal action on the trip at the meeting; Brown requested direction only and offered to submit fundraising materials to district contacts for distribution.
