Franklinville Central School District

The Board recognizes that field trips are an educationally sound and important ingredient in the instructional program of the schools.

A field trip means any journey by a group of students away from the school premises, under the supervision of a teacher, which is an integral part of an approved course of study and conducted for the purpose of affording a first-hand educational experience not available in the classroom.

Field trips are a part of the curriculum of the schools, and student conduct and attendance on field trips are governed by the same rules as regular classroom activities. The District must obtain written parental or guardian permission for students going on school-sponsored field trips.

The Superintendent will prepare procedures for the operation of a field trip activity. Field trip support will be determined annually by the Board during its budget deliberations. Regardless of the fiscal support for field trips, the rules of the District for approval and conduct of these trips will apply.

The Superintendent or designee may cancel previously approved field trips due to extenuating circumstances.
