Florida Down to the Wire

We will have to make a final decision Monday on how to proceed with this trip. At this point it is a business decision. We have 41 cadets who have paid deposits and we need 40 with full payment to break even. Additionally, we have not heard from teachers yet on the academic status of all cadets. Cadets who are failing a course or who the teacher does not feel can miss two days of school will obviously not be permitted to go. Those teacher forms are due back to us Monday. A final decision will be made Monday. We will issue refunds as appropriate. We were so hopeful that we could fill a bus with 44 Wade Hampton cadets. If we do not have 40 fully-paid/qualified cadets on Monday, we will again have to split the trip with Blue Ridge ROTC. That means we will only be able to take 24 WHHS cadets. We have to make the decision on Monday to pay our deposits and be guaranteed rooms. There can be no refunds after Monday for those fully paid and selected to go unless an alternate can take their place. The bright spot is that there will be other trips to Florida, and we are even looking at one to DC next Fall.
