School committee approves MMHS baseball trip to Jackie Robinson Training Complex with flexible dates to secure fares
Summary
The MMHS baseball coach requested board approval for an April 2027 trip to the Jackie Robinson Training Complex and flexibility on departure days to lower travel costs; the committee approved the motion unanimously.
A coach outlined plans to take 18–20 players to the Jackie Robinson Training Complex during spring break 2027 and asked the board for flexibility around departure dates to secure better airfares. "We want flexible departure dates around April break to secure optimal travel rates," the coach said as members reviewed packet materials.
Kathy Lewis moved to approve the trip with flexible departure dates; Camille Madison seconded and the committee voted unanimous to approve the request. Board members asked about how trips are sourced and whether opportunities can be extended to other sports to build pipelines; leadership said many trips are discovered through external partners and event organizers and that staff will continue to look for local options for other sports.
