Summary

The Glenn Heights City Council appointed Travis Bruton, Shante Allen and Sharron Moseley as co‑representatives for the Close‑Up Washington, D.C., student program and confirmed the program budget and logistics for March travel.

Mayor Sonia A. Brown said the council would appoint a representative to liaise with the Close‑Up Foundation program sending local students to Washington, D.C. Councilmember Shante Allen moved to appoint co‑representatives; the motion named Travis Bruton, Shante Allen and Sharron Moseley.

"I move that we approve appointing a city representative for the Close‑Up Foundation Washington DC student program," said Shante Allen before offering the list of co‑representatives. The council approved the motion by voice vote, 7–0. City staff said the trip dates are March 15–18, and that the city budgeted $26,500 for the program this year, covering eight students (four from each of two districts) and two chaperones for a total of 10 participants.

Council members discussed communication and background‑check questions: staff said chaperones are provided by the program and that the city will request the itinerary and share it with council. Members asked for a parent meeting and clearer pre‑trip notices so council members who are available in Washington can meet students while they are in the city.
