BACKGROUND : In accordance with BP 6153, School-sponsored Trips, the Board of Education recognizes that school-sponsored trips are an important component that can supplement and enrich the classroom learning experience. School-sponsored trips may be conducted in connection with the district's course of study or school-related social, educational, cultural, athletic, school performance group activities, military science, or other extracurricular or co-curricular activities. Most enrichment opportunities can be offered without requiring extended trips to distant locations. However, there may arise occasions when exceptional educational and/or experiential opportunities may arise that would require an extended trip (including overnight accommodations, several days, distant locations, etc.). All extended school-sponsored trips shall require the approval of the Board. District high school students will tour campuses and get a firsthand look at universities and educational opportunities offered by Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). Students will tour nine HBCU's: Tuskegee University; Alabama State University; Spelman College; Morehouse College, Clark Atlanta University; North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University; Norfolk State University; Hampton University; and Howard University. These institutions have played a pivotal role in shaping the academic, cultural, and social landscape of our country. By participating in this experience, Fontana Unified School District students will learn about the legacy of these institutions and envision themselves as part of a diverse and vibrant academic community.
