[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Updating since I started this. The field trip includes the charter bus, lunch, a T-shirt and “admission to the museum” .

With all of those perks I think $53 is very reasonable. It was sticker shock when I received the invoice in my inbox! [/quote]

Please link a citation.

I note with an easy web search a memo from a middle school this summer,

"There also may be fees  related to field trips, but these will be shared each time there is a trip. Examples of possible fees include
band/chorus T-shirts, Music in the Parks Festival field trip fee, Outdoor Education field trip fee (Grade 6), and End-ofYear Activities fee (Grade 8). "

In general, I believe that MCPS allows schools to charge families for field trips, but they are expected to make these trips accessible to all students, that is to say that students should be excluded due to financial constraints and schools are encouraged to offer financial assistance or alternative funding sources for families in need.
