International Field Trips • District decision to put a Moratorium on

Decision Rationale • Our district has a legal obligation to
ensure a safe and caring environment. Student, staff and chaperone safety is first and foremost.
• Increase in recent terrorist attacks and mass casualty shootings outside of Canada create unnecessary risk to staff and students.

Decision Rationale
• Staying in Canada has advantages • Crossing any border carries a risk. • International trips are considered
enhancements and not curricular requirements.
• Harm or loss of life would be inexcusable.
