File Attachment:
Summary: Mr. Andrew Ellis, Liberty High School Mathematics Teacher and Cross Country Coach, requests approval from the Board of Trustees to travel with twenty (20) student-athletes and three (3) adult chaperones to Big Bear Lake, California, for a specialized running camp at altitude. There are many proven benefits of altitude training for runners. This opportunity for Liberty High School's cross-country student-athletes will prepare the team for the upcoming cross-country season with the demands of the racing week in and week out. Team running camps at altitude are a component of nearly all top cross-country programs in the southwest area and surrounding school districts. Aside from the fresh mountain air and amazing benefits of the training environment, it is an excellent opportunity for LHS's student-athletes to bond and build a deep culture of trust and hard work, pushing them closer to their goal of a league championship and CIF berth. This is an overnight field trip with twenty (20) student-athletes and three (3) adult chaperones. Transportation will be provided via bus. The estimated cost is $300 per person. All expenses will be paid from the Cross Country Associated Student Body fund.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2023-24 operating budget funded through Liberty High School's Cross Country Associated Student Body Fund, not the General Fund.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the overnight field trip request for Liberty High School's Cross Country team to attend a Specialized Running Camp at Altitude in Big Bear, California, July 17-21, 2023.
