MEMORANDUM


TO: Principals
DATE: 19 December 1994
FROM: Jim Thornton
SUBJECT: Field Trip Guidelines

It is the intent of the Board of Education that field trips be an extension of the educational experiences of the classroom. Field trips are conducted according to Board Policy VI 27. Guidelines and procedures for approval of field trips are outlined in this policy.

  1. Field trips for secondary (grades 7-12) have not been placed under quota. Principals and teachers are asked to be aware of budget constraints.
  2. Field trips for elementary are limited. As per discussion of administrative council at least one field trip for each student can be provided each school year.
  3. The number of bus miles for your school is established by the October 1st enrollment count of three bus miles per student.
  4. The bus miles accumulated within the district for school-to-school functions, such as the high school musical, science fairs, and other similar programs will not be charged to your field trip miles.

I hope that changing to bus miles rather than field trip busses per year will be easier to understand and to track.
