On the basis of'discussion and parameters suggested by the Board of Trustees during the September 9`h meeting, the secondary school
is comfortable in moving forward with residential trips in grade 7— 11 under existing board policy. To this end and per board policy
requirements, residential trips need the approval if they take place outside the state of Texas. At this time, I am pleased to provide the
