Thursday night, the Homer-Center School Board approved a trip for the marching band and choral students, but it came with some discussion.
The main part of the discussion was how frequently these trips were being made by groups. Board member Vicki Smith said she wants to see the trips return to a rotation of one every three or four years.
The board also approved the creation of the district’s own Green Bandana Project. It’s a program for High School students to meant to raise mental health awareness, reduces stigma, and connects students to resources that will help them. Superintendent Ralph Cecere says that students will be able to help each other with this program. Training of student volunteers will begin at the start of the next school year.
