Board approves proposed high-school trip to Greece for summer 2026
Summary
The board approved Resolution 2025-18 to authorize a student trip to Greece (June 10–18, 2026) after reviewing an EF Educational Tours proposal and the school's overnight-trip application.
The Brecksville-Broadview Heights City School District Board of Education on Jan. 15 approved a proposed high-school trip to Greece for summer 2026 (Resolution 2025-18). The motion to adopt the resolution was made by Tish Kwiatkowski and seconded by Ellen Kramer; roll-call recorded five yeas and the resolution carried.
The motion's text in the meeting packet reads in part: "RESOLVE to approve the Summer of 2026 High School Trip Proposal as attached." The attached materials include an EF Educational Tours 'Grecian Odyssey' program with sample itinerary (Athens, Delphi, Epidaurus, Olympia, Mycenae and a possible island cruise), proposed travel window (June 7–21, 2026) and requested travel dates of June 10–18, 2026.
Supporting documents in the packet list safety, insurance and enrollment policies supplied by EF; the application to the board identifies Dawn Ferrante as the staff member in charge and Max Tychsen as the Tour Consultant. The EF materials include per-category estimated costs and fundraising/payment options; several per-category cost estimates appear in the proposal pages but no final, board-authorized trip price is recorded in the minutes.
Board approval authorizes staff to move forward with the program as submitted in the agenda materials; further steps listed in EF materials include launching the tour to the school community, enrollment windows and information meetings for families.
The motion adopted is recorded as Resolution 2025-18.
