Curriculum committee reviews annual field-trip list for 2026'27
Summary
The curriculum committee reviewed its annual field'trip list under Policy 1.21 and was told approving the list gives teachers preapproved options for the year; the board will vote on the list at next Monday's meeting.
The Curriculum, Instruction and Technology Committee heard a presentation on the district's annual field'trip list and the policy that governs it. "This is our annual field trip list," said Mr. Ardibard, who presented the item and explained that approving the list provides teachers with preapproved locations they may use during the 2026'27 school year.
Mr. Ardibard said the list includes local and more distant sites and also locations used for community'based instruction for students with IEPs, and emphasized that not all listed trips will necessarily occur. He noted elementary schools generally cap field trips at about three per year and that some trips have costs that could affect families. The committee was told the list, governed by Policy 1.21, will be placed on the board agenda for a formal vote next Monday.
The presentation framed the list as a way to "connect what they are learning in the classroom to the world around them," and committee members praised the role of teachers in organizing trips. No formal vote occurred at the committee meeting; the board will consider the item at its next scheduled meeting.
