Ennis Britton's On the Call

On the Call: Field Trips

Jeremy Neff and Erin Wessendorf-Wortman Season 1 Episode 11

Make sure your permission slip is signed and your seat belt is fastened as Jeremy and Erin take us on the field trip roller coaster ride in this season's final episode. They share insights about the laws covering field trips under 504 and IDEA and complications you should consider when planning your end-of-year outings. Included in the discussion is a recent case from Long Beach, California which highlights safety considerations and when denying participation might be appropriate. They also provide practical tips and encourage you and your team to think critically about how a disability might impact the trip.
