Reply To: Field Trip Chaperones
Ed Code 353330 requires us to “Provide supervision of pupils involved in field trips or excursions by certificated employees of the district”, so we have a ratio requirement from certificated staff to student ratio for all trips. No trip can be chaperoned by classified staff alone. We add additional chaperones by using approved, fingerprinted parent volunteers and classified staff. If the field trip is outside of the duty day of our classified staff they are paid their hourly rate/overtime as required.
