Summary: Perris High School’s (PHS) Agriculture teacher, Douglas Cousins, has submitted an overnight field trip request for 20 of the PHS Future Farmers of America (FFA) students to attend the Chico FFA Career Development Field Day, which will be held on the Chico State University campus on February 11-13, 2022. The Chico FFA Field Day event is the largest state level Career Development Event (CDE) of the year. The top teams will be competing at this event in preparation for the state finals competition in May. Students will be exposed to this top agricultural university while learning more about their contests and competing at the highest level in the state. Students will be exposed to the university atmosphere which will help motivate them to work hard towards their goals for their future careers. Students will develop hands on leadership skills as they interact will others students, judges, and teachers at their competition sites.

FFA members attending the Chico FFA Field Day competition will be able to visit with other FFA members from throughout California as well as leaders from other states and the National FFA. Each attendee will be focusing on the following objectives: participate in Career Development Event that will enhance their skills, develop leadership skills through interaction with other members, create friendships with other members from various chapters in California, receive awards and honors for hard work and achievement in their contest area, and be exposed to the university setting and see new cultures and experience new places.

Exposure to this level of competition will enhance our students’ ability to perform at a higher level and in turn enhance skills and knowledge in their given contests. It will also enable them to earn higher awards and placement in future competitions.

Twenty (20) students and three (3) adults will attend the Chico FFA Field Day. Transportation will be provided via District vehicles. The conference entry fees, transportation costs, and lodging costs will be paid from the Perris High School Perkins fund.

This item is coming to the Board of Trustees as a ratification due to a clerical error in Educational Services.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2021-22 operating budget funded through Perris High School's Perkins Grant, not the General Fund.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees ratify the overnight field trip request for Perris High School's Future Farmers of America students to attend the Chico State Future Farmers of America Career Development Field Day in Chico, California, February 11-13, 2022.
