Board approves Manor Elementary 6th‑grade overnight trip to Camp Kimball
Summary
The Monroe Public Schools Board approved Manor Elementary’s 6th‑grade overnight trip to Camp Kimball in Reading, Michigan. District staff said the trip will include about 55–60 students and 8–10 adults; the board voted to approve the field trip after a short discussion.
The Monroe Public Schools Board on Jan. 28 voted to approve Manor Elementary’s 6th‑grade overnight trip to Camp Kimball in Reading, Michigan.
Mary (speaker 9) moved to approve the trip “to Camp Kimball in Reading in Reading, Michigan in accordance with board policies for field trips and excursions,” and Darla (speaker 7) supported the motion. Administrative assistant Jamie completed the roll call and the motion passed.
Terry (speaker 10), who explained the trip to the board, said the trip is for Manor’s 6th‑grade class and estimated the total number of students at “55 to 60” with “8 to 10 adults” on the trip. The board discussed whether comparable overnight opportunities exist at other elementary schools and were told Manor is the only school in the district that runs an overnight 6th‑grade camp, which is why the item was brought to the board for approval.
The approval was recorded by roll call and the motion passed. The board did not provide additional trip logistics or a final cost-per-student figure at the meeting; those details were not specified.
