The Extracurricular Committee of the Spring-Ford Area School District met November 5, 2026. Students and staff described the German cultural exchange, Rain Buddies, athletics, performing arts, and student activities. Staff noted the district supports an extracurricular contract for an individual who coordinates the German exchange, but no contract award or spending vote was taken during the meeting. The committee also heard that fall sports participation was strong and that additional coaches would be hired for winter and spring seasons.

Staff presented a proposed summer educational-travel program with EF Education First for students who have completed at least level three in a world language, potentially beginning in summer 2028. The proposed MOU would have no direct cost to the district for the company’s services; students would pay EF directly for trip packages. The district could incur a teacher-coordinator stipend, which would need to be included in the budget. No trip, contract, or MOU was approved at this meeting; staff said they would provide further cost and program details and that any agreement would later be brought forward for board consideration.
