FIELD TRIPS AND EXCURSIONS
The Board of Directors recognizes that a properly planned, well-conducted, and carefully supervised field trip is a vital part of the curriculum of any classroom. As such, student trips of significant educational value are to be encouraged.
Field trips shall have the prior approval of the building principal. Advance consent of the students’ parents or guardians is required for any excursion involving the use of public or private transportation. When the district provides transportation, the cost must be deducted from the yearly transportation costs.
Field trips outside the state must have the approval of the superintendent or the superintendent’s designated representative.
Excursions outside the United States must have the recommendation of the administration and the approval of the Board of Directors.
