[quote=Anonymous]OP we are in FCPS too, not an especially rich area, but pretty upper middle class. only 12% free meals. This same thing started for use a few years ago. 3rd grader needed $35, the next year it was $45, same the following year, and I'm sure it'll be the same this year. I was shocked at first, but if they are taking a motor coach, that costs a lot. If they can use the school buses, then it is usually cheaper. Admission alone to Md. Sci. Center is like $15 for kids. So, the cost is not surprising. FWIW, it's a great place to go! I couldn't believe 3rd graders were taking a freakin' motor coach with movies and all -- but I'm also not going to complain since I know my kids will probably enjoy a field trip that involves a motor coach. I'm pretty sure last year it was $50 to go to Luray. So, you just have to go with the flow and appreciate that they are taking your kid somewhere they will likely enjoy.[/quote]
