Elementary school field trips?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>There is a relatively new principal at my kid’s elementary school. Since she has been there, the number of field trips kids get to take has plummeted: some grades didn’t take a single one this year. Apparently, it’s because this principal is very committed to economic equity, and doesn’t want to make families have to pay for something they might not be able to afford. In principle, I am very much in alignment with this value. But there has to be another way? I would gladly subsidize another student or two if it meant my kid could learn outside the walls of her school. How do your districts handle field trips?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/kayak_grrl"> /u/kayak_grrl </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Westchester/comments/1sxf4d0/elementary_school_field_trips/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Westchester/comments/1sxf4d0/elementary_school_field_trips/">[comments]</a></span>
