IJOAA: OVERNIGHT TRIPS

Field trips can bring the school and the community closer together, which can result in real life experiences that enrich the curriculum for students and also bring about better public relations. The School Committee will also encourage field trips as an integral part of the instructional programs in the schools.

The Superintendent will establish regulations to assure that:

1. All students have parental permission for trips.

2. All trips are properly supervised.

3. All safety precautions are observed.

4. All trips contribute substantially to the educational program.

All out-of-state or extended (overnight) trips and excursions, ex­cept those required for student participation in tournament competi­tion or contests, must have advance approval of the School Committee. Fundraising activities for such trips will be subject to ap­proval by the appropriate Administrator.
