Board approves FFA trip to Indianapolis and Beta Club trip to Myrtle Beach
Summary
Trustees approved an FFA delegation to the national convention in Indianapolis and a Beta Club trip to Myrtle Beach (Jan. 21–23); board members emphasized compliance with the district's chaperone ratio (1:10).
The board approved two student travel requests. The presenter said the FFA program has grown and recommended approval for travel to the national FFA convention in Indianapolis; after a motion and second the board approved the FFA trip (noted in the record as "passes three to zero").
The board also approved a Wshaws Middle School Beta Club trip to Myrtle Beach for Jan. 21–23. The presenter said the trip would require two days out of school and staff confirmed compliance with district chaperone policy: "the board requires that there's a 1 to 10 per student ratio," a board member said when asking about supervision. Board members moved, seconded and approved the Beta Club request; staff said they would ensure policy compliance on chaperone numbers.
Both field trips were approved with the expectation that standard district policies and chaperone ratios be followed.
