Board approves overnight FFA trip to state convention in May
Summary
The board approved a request permitting 19 FFA students to attend the state convention May 8–10, with the FFA covering just over $2,000 and the district covering under $3,500; the trip requires multiple chaperones and includes overnight stays for high school students.
The Washtucna School District board approved a request to allow 19 FFA students to attend the state convention May 8–10.
Lorena requested permission on behalf of the FFA, saying, “I would like to request, that I can take the FFA to our state convention in May.” She described the logistics: high school students would stay two nights, junior high students typically one night, and contests require adult chaperones for each event. Lorena said the total cost is “over $5,000,” with the FFA paying more than $2,000 and the district paying under $3,500.
Board members asked about the district’s permission process for out-of-state or overnight trips and whether there would be enough adult chaperones; Lorena said she would chaperone and expected additional community and teacher volunteers. A motion to approve the trip was moved and seconded and vocal assent was recorded. The transcript records that the motion passed, though a full roll-call tally is not listed in the record.
