Board approves middle‑ and high‑school FBLA travel to nationals in San Antonio

The board approved two travel requests for Harrison FBLA teams to attend the FBLA national conference in San Antonio from June 27 through July 3. Administration said the middle‑school delegation includes seven qualifiers and two chaperones; the high‑school delegation includes eight students and staff advisers. Estimated per‑student costs were reported near $1,300–$1,400, and administration said fundraising and sponsorships covered student expenses; a remaining chaperone or housing gap was noted and will be handled by staff or sponsors.

Ms. Thurman and Mrs. Williams introduced the middle‑ and high‑school teams, described competitive placements at state competitions and invited board members to review student projects. The board voted to approve both trips (motions by Ms. Musick and Mr. Burke respectively; seconds by Mr. Wade and Ms. Elon). The transcript records approval for both items but does not record roll‑call tallies.
