Board limits student overnight travel except after advancement beyond district
Summary
On a 5-2 vote, the board approved a recommendation that student groups not travel overnight for activities or competitions unless the team advances beyond the district level; Jeff Allen and Board President Mark Garcia voted no.
Superintendent Reggy Spencer told trustees that incidents occurring during last year’s overnight trips prompted a recommendation to restrict overnight travel for student groups unless travel follows advancement beyond district-level competition. "He and Coach Hodnett have discussed this and it is his recommendation that student groups not have overnight travel for activities & competitions unless it is after advancing beyond district," the minutes record.
After discussion and questions from trustees, Dennis Cumbie moved to accept the recommendation; Domingo Castillo seconded. The motion passed 5-2. Voting in favor were Domingo Castillo, Dennis Cumbie, Kelly Sheridan, Tasha Soto and Brenda Valdez; voting no were Jeff Allen and Mark Garcia.
The board did not specify enforcement details or an effective date in the minutes; staff discussion with coaches about implementation was referenced.
