[quote=Anonymous] I'm on the board of our elementary school PTA in Bethesda. Here are the usual parameters: 1. This should basically be the only paying field trip of the year. We try to keep the annual cost of field trips to a maximum of about $50 dollars per child, and most grades' field trips don't even come close to that maximum! For us, it's the fourth grade field trip to St Mary's City which costs that much. 2. It should be clearly stated in the parent notification that financial assistance is available to families in need. Our school keeps a scholarship fund for such occasions, paid for by the PTA, and a confidential list of students who might need assistance (probably based on FARMS data, but other considerations as well - we have a very international and diverse student body). So go ahead and make your voice heard, OP. [/quote]
