Board authorizes planning for World Cultures Club trip to Iceland in summer 2027
Summary
The board authorized staff and club sponsors to advertise and collect deposits for a proposed 7-day, 6-night Iceland trip in summer 2027, estimated at about $5,000 per participant; the board retained the right to rescind the authorization.
The Laurens Central School Board on Nov. 19 authorized club sponsors Gina Fairchild and Molly Bello to plan a World Cultures Club trip to Iceland in the summer of 2027 and to advertise and collect deposits to gauge interest. The minutes indicate the proposed itinerary would be seven days and six nights with an estimated participant cost of about $5,000 covering airfare, meals, tips, and activities. The board's authorization allows students, parents, teachers, staff, and community members to participate at their own expense or through funds raised by the club.
Board minutes explicitly note the board "has the right to rescind their decision at any time," and that all trip costs are the responsibility of participants or fundraised dollars. The decision is an authorization to plan and collect deposits; no board-funded subsidy or district-paid travel is recorded in the minutes.
