We had much the same problem. We (the students) heard that our school board was considering cancelling out of state trips, notably the national. So, we considered our options, wrote a petition, and got it signed. There was a school board meeting tonight (11/20), so we went (about 15 team members). The board discussed the issue, and some of us talked, our adults talked, and the school board approved the trip. They believe that trips should be considered on a case-to-case basis and this one should be left to the parents to decide if it's safe enough. We're all pretty happy. I hope other school boards see this issue in the same light. Good luck.
