Parents raise concerns about Book Club trip; superintendent to investigate
Summary
Two community members told the board that a recent Book Club field trip proceeded without required approvals and exposed students to an inappropriately rated movie; Superintendent Miller asked both to meet with him so he can investigate.
At the March 16 meeting two community members urged the board to examine a Book Club field trip they say proceeded without proper approvals and included inappropriate material.
Joshua Huggins told the board a community member may have violated policies regarding students; Caroline Roberts reviewed the district policy that requires prior approval for trips and materials and said students were shown an inappropriately rated movie. "The district does not approve of any club activity that violates district policy," Superintendent Aaron Miller said and asked both speakers to set up appointments so he can investigate.
Board members did not take immediate disciplinary action during the public-comment period; Miller said he would follow up individually with the speakers and investigate the allegations. The transcript does not record the results of that investigation or specify whether the trip was formally approved prior to departure.
