File Attachment:
Summary: Heritage High School’s (HHS) Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) Coordinator, Amanda Bates, is planning the annual Northern California college trip for HHS AVID Students. The dates of the trip are November 10-14, 2024. Approximately forty-four (44) students and three (3) adult chaperones will be visiting fourteen (14) college campuses over the five (5) day, four (4) night trip. The list of colleges/universities is as follows: Fresno State University, UC Merced, Sacramento State University, UC Davis, Chico State University, Sonoma State University, San Francisco State University, UC Berkeley, San Jose State University, Stanford University, UC Santa Cruz, Cal State Monterey Bay, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and UC Santa Barbara. The purpose of the trip is to introduce students to different campuses. Some schools in Northern California offer diverse and less expensive educational opportunities than those in Southern California. Heritage High School AVID students are more willing to leave home after visiting the campus. Our district has a significant representation of former AVID students on many north campuses because of our overnight trips. This trip is essential to building the college and career culture at HHS.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2024-25 operating budget funded through Heritage High School's Advancement Via Individual Determination Associated Student Body Fund and Title I Funds, not the General Fund.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the overnight field trip request for Heritage High School Advancement Via Individual Determination students to visit Northern California College Campuses, November 10-14, 2024.
