Five administrators in the Fairfield-Suisun School District plan to travel to Portland to attend a Northwest Evaluation Association conference – a trip costing $2,000 in airfare and $2,000 for hotels.

The out-of-state travel for Shelley Ghannam, Cindy Brown, Jeffrey Kubiak, Jas Wright and Megan Thole to attend the Oct. 8-9 event goes before Fairfield-Suisun School District trustees at their meeting Thursday.

“The Northwest Evaluation Association is a research-based, computerized not-for-profit organization that helps educators measure an individual student’s academic level and growth, then use the resulting data as a transformational teaching tool,” a school district staff report said.
