The board approved a student‑funded performance trip for the high school band and choir to Orlando, Florida, Feb. 10–15, 2027. The travel itinerary will be by motor coach and the cost will be covered by participating students.
During discussion Mrs. Zick confirmed that substitute coverage for teacher chaperones is the only district cost and that staff will not receive additional pay for overnight or extended hours. A board member asked about substitute daily pay and potential liability concerns for overnight travel; the administration said standard district policies apply and staff will confirm hotel safeguards. The motion to approve the trip passed without recorded objection.
The board emphasized that student fund‑raising and parental communication should cover trip costs and logistics, and approved the itinerary as presented.
