[quote=Anonymous]The other thing to remember is that some of this stuff is school-dependent and some of it is completely out of the hands of any administrator. An example is transportation. If the school uses buses for a field trip, there are all sorts of MCPS-level rules about union drivers, timing (due to buses being needed elsewhere), etc. So, for the Focus School not using school buses for the zoo trip, it might be a funding issue. Or it might be that recent kindergarten zoo trips (including my own childs') have returned the kids later than expected due to hold-ups at the zoo itself. If the zoo has 50 groups of kids from around the region coming in, the bus parking lot is a nightmare and can take up to 2 hours to load all of the kids waiting to get back to school by 3:30. So, I can see the school deciding it's not worth it to rely on school buses given the back-ups at the zoo and just having parents drive. [/quote]
