How do I schedule a
field trip and reserve a bus?
The current process for scheduling a field trip is as follows:
The MAPS teacher contacts the partner museum and requests a date
for a field trip. The suggested hours for a field trip are between
the times of 9:00 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. (Most bus companies have drop-off
and pick-up times at other schools and must plan the bus schedules
accordingly.) The MAPS teacher is responsible for ordering the bus. The last step in the process is for the teacher
to complete and submit the Application for Student Travel form.

How is the bus payment handled?
The MAPS teacher is responsible for ordering a bus. Some bus
companies might request payment and/or deposit in advance. If
this should occur, the school may pay the fees. MAPS
will reimburse all fees paid. The original receipt and copy of
the check is to be submitted
to:
Office of Language and Cultural
Education
