[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why MCPS sucks. We have a 3+ billion dollar budget and have access to acres of free world class museums for field trips, but, because of lack of investment in transportation infrastructure they have to charge families $53 to go to these museums. This means at MANY schools, field trips just aren't planned because some students can't afford (or parents don't want to prioritize it) to go and the cost is too high for it to be subsidized by those school's PTAs.[/quote] MCPS doesn't charge this, the teachers arrange it and the principals approve it. We didn't do many field trips in MCPS. You are also paying for teachers and chaperones costs as well. For that much, I'd say I'll drive my kid and meet you there.[/quote]
