If you notice a few 10th-graders in the greater downtown Coulee Dam area around lunchtime next week, they're not skipping school.
The Grand Coulee Dam school board Monday voted to give the class of 2027 an off-campus priveleges trial period.
The decision followed a presentation by the class officers asking for relief from a decision made about some earlier sophomore class that apparently had had discipline issues off campus.
"We have never had a chance to go out and prove ourselves," Jaci Clark said.
She and Gage Thompson, Cadence Holt, and Caches Parrish pressed the request Monday night.
Principal Natalie Kontos said she would be in favor of a trial period of four weeks.
The students said they had talked about it with a student representative on the school board, and with Kontos and others. Kontos told them when the school board meets.
The effort and attitude were viewed favorably by the board, which voted to approve the trial period of four weeks, starting Monday, Jan. 20.
