The School District of Mystery Lake will not be cancelling an upcoming overseas school trip.
The RD Parker Collegiate Senior Varsity girls basketball team is set to visit the Czech Republic and Germany next month but in light of recent world events, safety concerns were addressed.
During this week's school board meeting, Chairperson Leslie Tucker said trustees had recently met to discuss whether the trip should still go on. With a balance between safety and student experience in mind, she said they’ve decided to give the trip a green light.
The board can still cancel the trip prior to the departure date, should situations change.
Across Canada and the United States some school boards have cancelled trips to overseas countries following the recent Paris attacks.
