BACKGROUND 

Over a year ago, LCHS administration updated the Board Policy and Administrative Regulations on athletic transportation to make the rules more flexible for students and parents. At the May 14^th Governing Board meeting, a community member asked the Governing Board to request information on the current status of transportation for athletic events at LCHS. The Governing Board directed the staff to place this item on the agenda at a future meeting. 

CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS 

In order to respond to this request, LCHS administration has reviewed its financial records for the past two years, collected input from parents and students across all seasons and all sports, and prepared an update on the status of the transportation for athletic events. The report does not include transportation for field trips or activities for the visual and performing arts or any other program at LCHS.             

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 

There are no financial implications associated with this item.  The transportation donation request remained the same for 2018-19 as in previous years.
