File Attachment:
Summary: Perris High School’s Agriculture teacher, Douglas Cousins, has submitted an overnight field trip request for Perris High School's Future Farmers of America (FFA) students to attend the 90th Annual State FFA Leadership Conference, in Anaheim, California during the period of April 22-25, 2018. The purpose of the trip is for the students to build interpersonal communication skills, develop leadership capabilities, and be enlightened of the opportunities offered in agriculture education.

In addition, it is necessary for the Perris 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 three nights, with 30 students, and 4 adult chaperones. Transportation will be provided via site vehicles. The estimated cost is $200 per person.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2017-18 operating budget funded through the Perkins Grant, Title I and the Agriculture ASB account.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the overnight field trip request for Perris High School's Future Farmers of America students to attend the 90th Annual State Leadership Conference in Anaheim, California on April 22-25, 2018.
