Student group seeks $2,788 for senior trip to Long Beach
Summary
Students presented a plan for a 4-day senior trip to Long Beach, requesting roughly $2,788 and reporting about $1,300 in fundraising so far; board members asked for a firmer proposal and academic eligibility documentation in January or February.
A student representative outlined plans for a 4-day, 3-night senior trip to Long Beach, proposing travel Thursday, May 1, with return Sunday, May 4, lodging in a four-bedroom rental and transportation provided by a district van. The presenter said fundraising and a yard-work fundraiser have raised roughly $1,300 toward an estimated total cost of $2,788.
"We came up to $2,788," the meeting participant said, detailing the house cost and projected meal and activity expenses. Board members did not approve funding at the meeting; instead they asked the students to return in January or February with a firmer written proposal and to bring report cards to confirm academic eligibility for graduation.
The proposal included specific line items provided by students: a lodging cost reported as $1,678, meal and grocery estimates (three days of meals estimated at about $960 plus $40 for groceries), and optional activity fees such as a lighthouse admission. Presenters said graduation-related costs for seniors (senior pictures and graduation expenses) remain partly unfunded. The board did not take formal action on the request at this meeting and directed the students to provide a formal budget and additional documentation at the requested time.
