Presenter: Evan Hecker, Pullman High School Assistant Principal/AD
Pullman High School has submitted new overnight field trip requests for the football team and girls soccer. In addition, a revision to the cross country overnight field trip request that was previously approved.
These requests require board review and approval.
Principal Hecker shared the challenges associated with the WIAA website and evolving tournament brackets, which can make timely approval of overnight trips difficult. He suggested that the Board consider accepting a seasonal (Fall/Winter/Spring) overnight field trip summary in advance, with specific overnight requests submitted as teams advance through tournament play.
Director Waananen Jones noted the need to review current policy to determine whether this approach aligns with existing policy language. She suggested that the informational items section could be used for these requests, with a final update provided at the end of the season.
