DATE:	Tuesday, September 19, 2017
TO:	School Board Members
FROM:	Jeff Eakins, Superintendent
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Activities Calendar for Secondary Education Field Trips – 2017/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Secondary Art, Language Arts, Mathematics, Music, Social Studies, World Languages, and Science programs schedule field trips for students to participate in academic competitions and activities to enhance student learning.  The Secondary Education Field Trip Calendar will enable Area Superintendents and school administrators to determine in advance which activities have been deemed academically relevant by subject area supervisors.  Since the competitions and activities can be out-of-county, pre-approval will assist in advance planning for these events.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Provide a student-centered learning environment that engages every child
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
Activities may be supported by school internal accounts and the Secondary Education Department Part I budget.
EVALUATION
All activities are evaluated annually to ensure their alignment with state and district academic standards and their impact on student achievement.
