III. Travel Committee

A.

Discuss and Possible Vote on Academic Decathlon Team Trip to National Finals in Texas

The anticipated cost is $15,635.00, which would be payable from the General Account.  There is not much variation between prior years and now; however, one difficulty is that the City championship is so late, it creates issues of reserving tickets in advance without knowing if they will go, etc.  To account for fluctuating airfare cost, the Committee modifies the total amount approved to $17,000.00.  
Beatriz Chen made a motion to approve the Academic Decathlon trip to Texas, up to the total amount of $17,000.00.
Scott Silverstein seconded the motion.
