Board approves cross-country overnight trip for Oct. 3–4 after coach outlines itinerary and fundraising
Summary
The board approved a cross-country overnight trip for the high school team after Coach Chris described the itinerary (Green Lakes, Grafton Lakes, Saratoga meet), budget-conscious state-park stops, fundraising plans and chaperone coverage.
Coach Chris presented the proposal for an overnight cross-country trip with "two bold goals": team bonding and competition outside Section 5. He told the board the trip would "be from Friday, October 3 to Saturday, October 4," with stops at Green Lakes State Park and Grafton Lakes State Park, a race hosted at Saratoga High School, and low-cost park options to keep family costs down.
Chris outlined logistics including packed lunch for Friday, hotel breakfast, concessions for race day and team-funded dinners supported by fundraisers such as Oak Tree fundraising and team T-shirt sales. He also identified chaperone plans after an assistant coach had a conflict and welcomed parent/teacher Beth Ward to serve as the female chaperone. The board moved the approval (item 3.03) on recommendation of district staff and signaled assent to proceed.
