Summary:
|
Heritage High School’s Agriculture teacher, Jeremiah Perotti, is requesting Board approval for the Heritage High School's Future Farmers of America (FFA) students to attend the 88th Annual State FFA Leadership Conference, in Fresno, California, April 20-25, 2017.
The purpose of this trip is to receive the FFA Charter from the State Association and provide FFA members the opportunity to expand leadership skills by attending leadership workshops and activities. Students will represent Heritage High School on the convention floor, provide information to voting delegates on issues that will directly affect the members, and cast votes for the 2017-2018 state FFA officers.
In addition, it is necessary for the Heritage Chapter of FFA to be represented by two voting delegates at the convention if they are to remain in good standing with the state association. By being represented, they will be able to continue participating in FFA sponsored activities, be eligible for agriculture incentive and specialized grants, as well as give students the ability to run for regional and state FFA offices.
This is an overnight field trip of 5 nights, with 32 students, and 5 adult chaperones. Transportation will be provided via District vehicles. The estimated cost is $270 per person.

Funding:

The cost for this item is funded through HHS Perkins Grant and Student Body funds.

Recommendation:
