The Laredo R-7 Board of Education met Monday evening, discussing the fifth and sixth grade basketball season and approving field trips.
According to information provided by Principal Misty Foster, the board approved allowing third through sixth grade boys and girls to participate in the fifth and sixth grade basketball season. Girls will also be allowed to play on the boys team due to the low number of boys.
Field trips were approved for the spring, with third through eighth grade students will travel to the “Day at the K” at Kauffman Stadium on May 3. In addition, the eighth grade field trip was approved for May 8 in Kansas City.
Board members discussed the 2018-2019 school calendar, which will be reviewed for a vote at the February meeting. Mrs. Foster presented a list of possible summer projects for the board to consider, with no action taken. No action was taken on a bus purchase, with the board continuing to look for a bus.
