“the trip was denied by the Queen Anne's County Board of Education.”

OK, this is sort of true.  Please note that the members of the Queen 
Anne’s School Board are appointed by the governor.  In QAC, we do not 
elect them.  
The Board Members voted to not support the trip (not unanimously) and 
passed the decision on whether the kids could go back to the principal of 
the Middle School.  She said something like “of course they are going!”  
At least this is what was reported by the local newspaper.  I spoke to the 
reporter who covered the meeting and he said that one of the school board 
members was concerned that they “drive on the wrong side of the road” over 
there.  So much for govt. appointees.  Sigh ....
