Washtucna board asked to permit high school band trip to Northern California
Summary
A district presenter asked the board for permission to use two school vans and district support for an eight-student high-school band trip over spring break to Northern California; proposed budget for the trip is $5,163 and the band’s account balance was cited at about $9,800.
A presenter identified only by the meeting speaker label (S1) asked the board for permission to use district vans and fuel for an eight-student spring-break trip to Northern California that would include a jazz clinic at Southern Oregon University and school-to-school exchanges.
The presenter laid out logistics: two district vans, four rooms (two, three and three students plus two chaperones), and a trip budget of $5,163. The presenter said the band currently has about $9,800 in its account and therefore can cover trip costs. The presenter asked the board, “So, the question is, would this be approved by the board?” but the transcript records discussion and questions rather than a formal recorded vote on the request.
Board members asked operational questions (drivers, vehicle capacity and timing). The presenter said the group could drive during spring break and would be careful not to conflict with sports. Staff offered to take additional information and to place the item on a future agenda if the board wanted a formal vote.
