ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education pre-authorize overnight trips for high school winter co-curricular teams that may advance to the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) playoffs or state competition?

 

INFORMATION:

 

The high school winter co-curricular teams request permission for an overnight trip in the event that the teams qualify for a CIF playoff or state competition that requires an overnight stay due to distance. Pre-authorization is requested only because it cannot be determined in advance whether a team will require such permission until the outcome of the final local competitions. The following activities many be involved: boys/girls basketball, boys/girls soccer, boys/girls water polo, and wrestling.

 

For athletic events, CIF will reimburse schools a small stipend for food and travel (with prior approval), and in some instances (depending on distance from home), lodging. The remainder of the costs will be paid through Booster Club and Athletic funds. In accordance with Board Policy 6153, no student will be required to fundraise or make payments. There will be no cost to the District.

 

All parents of participants will receive the necessary information, an outline of the itinerary, and a list of student and adult participants. Appropriate forms will be submitted to the Director of High Schools and Assessment.
