Board approves FFA agreement with Liberty Place for student projects
Summary
The board approved an agreement allowing FFA students to use Liberty Place's farmstead for livestock projects; the district confirmed insurance coverage to protect students and staff while on site.
Board reviewed a proposed agreement that would permit FFA students who lack home facilities to use Liberty Place's farmstead for livestock projects. Staff described the agreement's purpose, duration, roles and responsibilities, and said the district and Liberty Place worked out special provisions including insurance so students and staff would be covered while on site.
Board members supported approval, noting the arrangement expands access to FFA projects for students who otherwise could not participate because they lack home facilities. Staff called the agreement 'extensive' and recommended authorization so students may begin projects next season.
