Overnight Excursion Procedures 

 

I. Important documents that must be completed by the school and submitted to Central Office before participating in an overnight excursion:

 

Request(s) for overnight excursions will be forwarded to the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction.

. Educational Excursion and Bus Authorization Form

. Alabama Course of Study Standards covered by trip

. Itinerary for the entire trip

. Emergency contact numbers (teacher/administrator cell phone numbers)

 

 

Note: Educational trips must require transportation by bus only. The Hickory Public Schools System does not have insurance for vehicles that are not system owned; therefore, the use of private vehicles is PROHIBITED. Activity buses have been purchased by the MCPSS to transport small groups of children to special events and contests. Schools can contact the Office of Transportation

for an activity bus driver. The cost per mile will be determined by the State Department of Education Pupil Transportation Division.

Principals’ Responsibilities:

 

The principal is responsible for the approval of field trips, including transportation arrangements and supervisory personnel involved in educational excursions.
