Out-of-state travel costing $14,750 – including trips by seven teachers, the principal and a secretary from Dan O. Root Elementary School to Seattle for a conference at the Tulalip Resort Casino – won approval Thursday without comment by Fairfield-Suisun School District trustees.

Steve Patton, a teacher at David Weir Preparatory Academy in Fairfield, later said during public comment that he’d just returned from San Diego for what critics call a junket and that his teaching has been changed because of what he learned at the conference.
