What should I do if I am asked to sign a contract from the facility where the field trip is being held? What should I do in the event of an emergency on a field trip? Importantly, different standards govern the administration of prescription versus non-prescription medication, specifically, who can administer those medications. Prior to taking students on a field trip, it is critical that district staff responsible for the field trip familiarize themselves with any medication needs for any student(s) attending a field trip, and to assure that staff overseeing a field trip have the appropriate knowledge, skills and training to administer any necessary medication. State law requires a Wisconsin school board, with the assistance of one or more school nurses or other qualified individuals to adopt a written policy governing the administration of prescription drugs and nonprescription drug products. What if a student needs medication administered on a field trip? All requests for transportation for field trips and other District-sponsored trips shall be made to District approved carriers only.” Similarly, Policy 751.7, provides that a parent may transport their own child(ren) to a field trip, but may not transport any other student(s). Exceptions must have the approval of the Superintendent of Schools and Learning or his/her designee.
For Example, Green Bay Area Public School District Board of Education Policy 751.7 provides that “The transportation for all field trips and other District-sponsored trips is to be by vehicles owned or approved by the District and driven by approved drivers.
Your district’s school board policy should address whether students may be transported by private vehicles. A background check is required every two (2) years, though the District reserves the right to require a background check or to initiate a background check or re-check at any time.Īre there limitations on what chaperones/volunteers can/cannot do on field trips? All volunteers are subject to a background check by the District, and the District reserves the right to rescind, limit, modify or deny a volunteer based on the results of a background check. For example, Green Bay Area Public School District Board of Education Policy and Rule 353.1 set forth the Green Bay Area Public School District’s requirements for volunteers in schools, which includes chaperones for field trips and District-sponsored events. Who can chaperone school field trips is largely governed by your district’s school board policy and possibly other court orders. When these questions arise you may want to seek assistance from your school district’s legal counsel in handling any of those scenarios. Occasionally, you may encounter situations where there is a question about whether a specific individual has the ability to give permission for field trip attendance/participation, or situations where there is a dispute between parents/guardians about a student’s attendance/participation in a field trip.
