Sly Park

Yeah, just a little bit, but nothing.

Yeah, Sly Park, you got to get up a little higher.

Placerville will get it.

I remember a couple years, Sly Park got dumped

on.

And it snowed a little bit, but you could see it on the ground, but nothing serious.

It

was funny when Sly Park was getting snow.

So what's going on there? How much was this trip actually costing Sac City Unified Key?

Yeah, so the sixth grade science trip isn't canceled, but the money to help fund the sixth graders to go on that trip to Sly Park has been eliminated, which is about $850,000.

The district received federal COVID relief funds, and they chose to provide fully paid trips to all sixth graders.

Now that that money has ran out, they're not in a position to continue funding the trip.

Yeah, well, Lori Marvin, who is a parent that has two kids in the district, mentioned that students are now going to have to do a fundraiser for the trip.

She pointed out that their school, a four-day experience is over $300 per student.

Here is what Lori had to say about her child's experience at Sly Park.

It's been such a pivotal experience that many students have been able to have throughout the years to gain independence i can't tell you the difference i saw in my sixth grader last year when they came back from park on like they were really hesitant and nervous to go and since they returned like it was like a 180 i mean it was like a light switch was flipped you know they've had other independent experiences before but this was just a game changer
