Committee approves marching-band trip to Magic Kingdom in April
Summary
The committee approved a request for the Blackstone-Millville marching band to travel to Walt Disney World and perform "March in Magic Kingdom" on Saturday, April 17; the committee allowed two missed school days before April vacation and several members abstained because of potential involvement in planning.
The Blackstone-Millville School Committee approved a request on Aug. 5 for the district marching band to travel to Walt Disney World and perform on Saturday, April 17. Mr. Schaeffer, who presented a tentative outline for the trip, told the committee the band "has been invited to March in Magic Kingdom on that Saturday, April 17." He said travel times and airline tickets were tentative and that the group would likely return on Monday.
The motion to approve the trip was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote. Multiple members noted they would abstain because they might help with reservations or planning; one member said, "I'm abstaining just because I might make some of the reservations, so I don't wanna but, I mean, as a parent." The transcript shows the committee approved the trip despite those abstentions.
