PR 5660 Field Trip

The use of bus transportation services for field trips may be authorized from Board of Education appropriated funds budgeted for field trips if approved by the Superintendent/designee.

Transportation services may be provided for school-related activities provided the sponsoring organization pays the cost. The Superintendent/designee will approve such requests based upon the availability of buses and drivers.

Addendum to Field Trip Policy dated Aug. 15, 2013

Field trips are designed for school age children for educational purposes. Therefore, the participation of children who do not attend Hudson R-IX grades kindergarten through eighth is strongly discouraged.

Students participating in field trips should travel with the school group to and from the event. If the group returns early, it is best to leave the student in school to experience follow-up activities related to the field trip. In addition, the district is paid by the state based on students' attendance hours.
