The Pullman School District Board of Directors approved Pullman High School's overnight field trip request after Evan, Pullman High School athletic director (last name not specified), told the board he had misread or missed postseason dates and needed to correct the travel schedule.

Evan said he originally submitted the field trip paperwork and the board approved it on Sept. 24, but that he later discovered additional football playoff rounds (round of 32, round of 16 and round of 8) with dates he had not included. He apologized for the mistake: "I messed up and messed up these dates. I just wanna make it right," he told the board.

Evan proposed that the district consider an alternate process in which the board pre-approves a seasonal list (fall, winter and spring) with rolling date windows so staff would not have to return repeatedly as postseason brackets change. "Could we look at, like, a fall, winter, and spring overnight approval, you know, list," Evan said, arguing the WIAA brackets move and locations are often "to be determined." Director Lisa (last name not specified) said that a consolidated informational list with an end-of-season update about what actually occurred would be an appropriate option.

Board members emphasized that many postseason travels are contingent on teams' advancing and that exact locations and dates frequently remain undecided until brackets are finalized. The board president (name not specified) said there was no objection in principle to a seasonal approach so long as staff return afterward with a final accounting of what actually occurred.

Procedurally, a director moved to move the Pullman High School overnight field trip request from discussion to an action item; another director seconded the motion and the board approved by voice vote. After the item became an action item, a director moved to approve the field trip request and a second followed; the board again approved by voice vote and the chair declared the motion approved.

The transcript does not record roll-call vote tallies or the full names of the directors who moved and seconded the motions. Afterward the meeting was adjourned; a final comment suggested Evan check in with other athletic directors in the GSL.
