It is an established fact that within our area there are many places of considerable educational value, and trips thereto can do much to enrich the students background in such studies as the social and the pure sciences.
Field trips can also add to the students appreciation of their historical inheritance.
Prudence and wisdom dictate that age, grade, weather conditions, and other such factors must govern the length and scope of field trips, and those in charge should take these factors into consideration when planning the trips. The safety and care of the students and of the vehicles should be primary and utmost concern. Board-owned buses may be used in making these field trips, at no charge to the students involved. All trips using Board-owned buses shall be in compliance with the State laws and rules governing the use of vehicles for such trips. The principal of the school involved shall make requests for all field trips to the Ironton City Superintendent of Schools who shall have the authority to approve or disapprove field trips by those in the Ironton City Schools.
