Board hears proposal to explore trap-shooting team; staff weighs FFA vs. USA Clay Target
Summary
A presenter told the board she is researching options for a student trap-shooting program, saying FFA trapshooting could require more travel and cost, while USA Clay Target could be cheaper, more local and offer grants; she will report back after outreach to nearby schools.
Board members heard an update on exploring a trap-shooting activity for students. The presenter said she has contacted nearby FFA advisors and explained, “I did send an email out to Clotus' FFA advisor, and he has not done trapshooting in the past because he hasn't been comfortable with it, but he's interested in knowing more.” She described trade-offs: FFA trapshooting may mean more travel and potential overnight stays while USA Clay Target offers more local, flexible participation and has expanded grant opportunities.
The board discussed logistics, insurance and potential partnerships with nearby schools (Ritzville, Connell and others). Members asked the presenter to look into insurance differences between FFA and USA Clay Target, speak with neighboring districts about how their programs operate, and report contacts and cost estimates at the next meeting.
