Board approves student-council travel and authorizes grant searches to offset costs
Summary
Board approved three out-of-state travel requests for Student Council advisors and students and authorized staff to pursue grants to help cover travel costs, including an anticipated advisor conference (~$2,000) and a Washington, D.C., trip.
The board approved several out-of-state travel requests for Student Council and authorized administrators to pursue grant funding to reduce student costs. The adviser said one adviser-only conference will cost about $2,000 depending on airfare and hotel, while a Washington, D.C., trip for students is estimated in the low thousands depending on registration and travel; the adviser also asked the board to approve searching for grants to help offset travel expenses.
Board members discussed fundraisers and timing for grant submissions; the adviser said the district will complete fundraising before registration to avoid wait-list issues. A board member moved to approve the three student-council travel requests and grant searches and the motion passed unanimously.
