In February 2023, the board approved a trip to Spain for OHS students, replacing a previously scheduled one to Peru. That trip was canceled for the safety of students based on the political climate there at the time.Twenty-three Spanish students participated in the trip to Spain this past November.On Monday, board Vice President Beth Wilson-Fish and President Jeffrey Leikin both said they had questions for DiBianca and Macias, but the teachers did not attend the meeting.

Leikin said Peru does not currently have any different travel alerts than Denmark, France “or a lot of other countries.” “I don’t feel like there’s that big of a time crunch,” Campbell said. “This is very early. We like at least a year, traditionally. We definitely have time.” Puster explained that the request to move the $500,000 was made to “move important capital projects ahead.”
