Committee tables Gibbons School out-of-state field trip pending cost details
Summary
The committee reviewed a proposed March 12, 2026 field trip for Gibbons School to the Providence Children’s Museum and voted to table final approval until the district provides transportation and cost information; the motion to table was made, seconded and carried by roll call.
A request for an out-of-state field trip (Gibbons School to the Providence Children’s Museum on March 12, 2026) was presented to the School Committee. Committee members asked whether the district would bear any costs, whether busing would be required, and whether PTOs were covering expenses. The trip-request form did not list transportation costs.
Following discussion, a committee member moved to table the field-trip approval until the district provides specific cost and transportation details; another member seconded the motion. A roll-call vote was taken and members recorded their support for tabling the item. The administration said it will provide clarification about costs and return the item to the committee for final action.
No final approval or authorization for travel occurred at the meeting; the trip remains pending until the committee receives the requested financial details.
