Art teacher outlines proposed student trip to France; board hears itinerary and cost details
Summary
An art teacher presented a first-review proposal for a spring-break student trip to France (tentative April dates), detailing itinerary highlights, vendor (Passports), a per-student cost listed as $4,774 and a travel-protection option; the trip was discussed but not approved.
Monica, an art teacher at Massic, presented a first-review proposal for a nine-day student trip to France, tentatively scheduled during next year’s spring break (dates discussed around April 11–19). She outlined an itinerary that included Paris landmarks, Monet’s gardens, Versailles, a river cruise on the Seine, visits to D-Day sites and the new Leonardo da Vinci museum, and a final day visiting Chartres Cathedral.
Monica said the vendor, Passports, can include travel-protection coverage in the package and that the district negotiated an early-enrollment discount extension; she stated a per-student package price of $4,774 and an early-enrollment fee of $250. Board members asked about chaperone coverage and how the district’s alcohol policy would be enforced abroad; Monica said school rules and signed parent/student behavioral contracts would apply and that students violating those rules could be sent home.
The trip was presented for first review; no board vote or final approval took place.
