ANSWER:
According to MCPS Form 210-4 (September 2016), Approval for Extended Day, Out-of-Area, and Overnight Field Trips, and MCPS Form 210-6 (September 2016), Approval for Local June Field Trips:
Students cannot be denied the opportunity to attend a trip due to financial hardship. A student financial hardship statement must be on the orientation letter. Example: “If you need to make special arrangements to cover the cost of the trip, please contact your child’s teacher in writing prior to the deadline indicated. Any correspondence will be kept confidential.”
Funding for students who cannot attend a trip due to financial hardship, is paid through a school’s Individual Activity Fund account.
Additionally, noted under Payment on MCPS Forms 555-6 (September 2016), Parent/Guardian Approval for Trips MCPS Transportation Is Provided, and 560-31 (September 2016), Parent/Guardian Approval for Trips MCPS Transportation is Not Provided:
Scholarships, reduced fee, or modified payment schedules are available if the cost of the field trip would create a hardship for your family.
