Field Trips
 
Field trips can bring the school and community closer together, which can result in real life experiences that enrich the curriculum for students.  The Franklin School Committee encourages field trips that enhance the instructional program in its schools and provide students access to state and local curriculum standards.
 
The Superintendent shall establish Administrative Procedures for Student Travel, which may be amended by the Superintendent as needed, to assure that:
  1. All field trips contribute to the students’ access to state and local curriculum standards;
  2. All field trips have advance approval of the Superintendent or his/her designee in accordance with the Administrative Procedures for Student Travel;
  3. All students have the prior permission of the parent/guardian for field trips;
  4. The field trips are properly supervised by staff and parent/guardian volunteers;
  5. All students are provided with full and equal opportunity for participation in field trips; and
  6. Safety protocols are established and observed on field trips;
  7. All extended field trips comply with the extended field trip policy and protocols.
All out-of-state or extended (overnight) trips, including enrichment, ex­cept those required for student participation in tournament competi­tion or contests, must have advance approval of the Franklin School Committee.  Fundraising activities for such trips will be subject to ap­proval by the appropriate Administrator.
