Field trips will be provided to all students with an emphasis on socioeconomically disadvantaged students, foster youth, and English Learners to increase opportunities and experiences they may not normally have access to and will improve their desire to attend school daily. This action will pay for any additional bussing services rendered by Kern County Superintendent of Schools Transportation Department as well as entry fees and associated costs for field trips.
Collect feedback from students, teachers, and parents on the impact of field trips on student motivation and desire to attend school. Monitor changes in student attendance rates and academic engagement following field trip experiences as indicators of increased school connectedness. (Metrics 3.4, 3.5, 3.11)
