When funding classroom field trips, funds should be paid directly to the school district and include a request that they be deposited into the school district general fund for the unit’s school and earmarked for the payment of buses and/or admission fees. PTA members should not assume responsibility for transporting students, as PTA’s liability insurance does not cover transportation in personal vehicles. PTA insurance also does not cover bus transportation. PTA may pay for other costs of field trips directly if the school district is unable to accommodate the donation.
