Since 9/11, Lake Orion School District has had a moratorium on international travel (except for Toronto). School board members on March 24 agreed the moratorium should stay in place.
A group of students had requested permission to take a school district sanctioned trip to London this summer.
LO Assistant Superintendent Dave Beiter said he would be reluctant to take the moratorium off, citing the recent terrorist incident in Spain.
Board members felt if the trip was organized by parents rather than a teacher, it wouldn’t need any board sanction.
