Student Handbook - Field Trip Policy*
The Worcester Public Schools has adopted a Field Trip Policy that is in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 346 of the Acts of 2002, An Act Relative to Safety of School Sponsored Travel. The policy establishes procedures for school sponsored student travel that is planned between the hours of midnight and 6:00 a.m., overnight or foreign trips, and over water or air travel.
A copy of the policy is available through the Office for Instruction and School Leadership.
Cancellation Policy: The Superintendent reserves the right to cancel an approved field trip until the time of departure. In the event of a cancellation, the school system is not responsible for any expenses incurred.
*The Worcester Public Schools does not condone or take responsibility for privately funded trips without authorization of the school principal.
