[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Kid Museum/MCPS collaboration is funded by a grant.  But there is not enough money for all schools, so Kid museum chooses which ones go usually based on free and reduced school lunch percentage.  I assume it is a requirement of the grant.[/quote]

Yep. That's exactly what they did (not sure if that's the case with the update).  I have been at multiple schools and they covered ALL the fees for their programs - including 5+ field trips in a year for their middle school program.  They are such a valuable resource.  [/quote]

I guess the question is: why should some schools get 5+ fully paid field trips while other schools get zero? Is there not a way every student could at least get to go once? I strongly feel each mcps student should have relatively similar opportunities available districtwide. Clearly mcps does NOT feel this way because they continue to set up programming that is only available to small subsets of the district, and access always seems to be based on the parents’ home address.
