Policy

The Plainville Board of Education (the “Board”) encourages and sanctions student field trips that are of value in helping achieve each participating student's educational objectives. 

All student field trips shall require prior written approval by the building principal.  In addition, all student field trips that are scheduled to last more than one day shall require the prior written approval of the Superintendent or his/her designee and the Board.

All student field trips that require public solicitation of funds shall require Board approval prior to any fundraising by involved students or others on their behalf.  In addition, any such fundraising activities must comply with the provisions of the Board Policy concerning fundraising activities (Policy No. ___) and any administrative regulations implementing such Board Policy.

The Superintendent or designee is authorized to develop administrative regulations to implement this policy. The Board will not be responsible for any field trip that is not approved in accordance with the procedures set forth in this policy and any accompanying administrative regulations.
