[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My field trip post was an FCPS elementary with an ED center, which you would think would be well-versed in FAPE. I'd rather not be more specific.

Wait, since when is a field trip required? The student can still have an educational experience at school. If the parent can't accompany, then the child can stay at school. [/quote]

If a field trip is not required, and students cannot be kept safe on the field trip, then no students can go.  The same principles that apply to students with accommodations apply to all students.  Would you tell your 2nd grader who has been studying mummies "You can have an educational experience at the school, you don't need to go to the Museum of Natural History" or "I need to go to the Pumpkin Patch" to keep you safe?  Of course not!  Why should the parent of a child who needs an accommodation.  Under the law, the school system is "in loco parentis" for all of its students.  It has a legal obligation to keep them all safe during the school day.   Not the parents.  The school district.  And every activity the school provides -- field trips, recess, lunch -- serves a purpose related to education.[/quote]
