(Excerpts from Board Policies 6153 and 1240.)

Volunteers are subject to school rules and regulations both on school campuses and on field trips.

Parents acting as chaperones for a field trip may not bring other children on the trip. Their responsibility is to help monitor and supervise students assigned to them. Only students enrolled at school and in that particular class are allowed on field trips.

Supervisors of the trip are responsible for ensuring that the chaperones know their roles and responsibilities. Adults and staff members’ first task of a chaperone is to provide for the safety of participating students. Chaperones, if not a school district employee or the parent(s) of the student(s) on the field trip, must be at least twenty-five (25) years of age.

Emergency situations are to be reported to the administration and parents as soon as possible by telephone. Such situations would include serious injury, illness, or death; intoxication or possession of drugs/alcohol; arrest by the police; and/or extreme case of defiance, belligerence or insubordination that presents a threat to the safety and wellbeing of students or others.
