Field Trip Procedures
These procedures apply to all types of school bus field trips, including Coach-Driven, Regular Education, and Special Needs trips:

• Approval: All field trip requisitions must be approved by an authorized representative.

• Priority: Bus routes take priority over field trips.

• Scheduling: Trips should be scheduled Monday through Friday, departing your campus at or after 9:00 a.m. and returning by 1:30 p.m. (or after 5:30 p.m. for late pick-up and return).

• Non-UIL Trips: Non-UIL trips outside these hours will not be approved due to limited resources.

• Shuttle Trips: Any shuttle trips must be fully explained in detail on the request form.

• Special Seating Requirements: If a car seat, any other adaptive equipment (such as safety harnesses), or a bus equipped with seat belts is required, this must be clearly specified on the request.
