Per Policy 2320, student travel requests require board approval if they are overnight trips. Advisors are required to submit all required paperwork at least two weeks in advance to Cheri Dailey, Director of Business Operations and Risk Management. Advisors must clear the trip with their building principal prior to submitting the request to Risk Management. Advisors are required to submit itineraries, budget information, transportation information and learning objectives along with the dates of travel and information on the group of students traveling with chaperones.
Exceptions to the rule are travel requests for state and national tournaments and competitions. The procedures for these types of trips is outlined in Procedure 2320P. Often the tournaments come up quickly and there is not enough time to present the trip to the board prior to the trip. In this case, advisors must submit all paperwork to the Risk Management Officer prior to the trip for approval. The trip is then ratified by board members at their next regularly scheduled board meeting.
Student travel requests are attached.
