I am the rightful guardian of the above-named student and I grant permission for said student to participate on the overnight Butler 8th Grade field trip to Washington DC.

The Undersigned acknowledge that they have been advised that neither the Butler Area School District nor the parties responsible for transporting and supervising the students in question can guarantee or assure the security of said students on the trip in question. The District does not provide uniformed or other security officers with respect to said trip nor does it assume such liability. The Undersigned will investigate and satisfy themselves with respect to the provision of security for the students on the trip in question and will hold harmless and release the District and its Directors, Superintendent, and employees, with respect to any liability arising out of the participation by said student on this trip.

As the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the above-named student, I/we on behalf of myself/ourselves, my/our heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, and on behalf of the above-named student do hereby release and discharge Logan Tours, Inc., their employees, agents, and/or servants from any and all rights, claims, and/or actions which I/we and/or the above named student may hereafter have against Logan Tours, Inc. their employees, agents and/or servants arising out of the aforementioned field trip.

I understand that in the case of a medical emergency, every reasonable attempt will be made to contact the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the above-named student. If, however, I/we cannot be contacted and a medical emergency arises; I/we by affixing my/our signature(s) to this form give permission for my/our child to receive all necessary emergency medical care. I understand that if my child takes a daily medication at school or has emergency medication at school (bee sting or inhaler), the principal’s designee (teacher or other staff person) will dispense this medication during the field trip.

I give Logan Tours, Inc. permission to photograph and/or video record my son/daughter in a group setting and to use those pictures and videos to promote the trip for future student tours. These pictures and videos could be used in trip brochures, on the tour website, PowerPoint presentations for student and/or parent meetings etc.

All School District policies are in effect during this field trip, including those regarding profanity, disrespect, hazing, and harassment. Students who violate any District policies may be suspended from future overnight field trips, and will face appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with School District policies.

During the trip, behavior issues may be addressed with verbal warnings, assigning seats, keeping students on the bus during stops, calling parents and/or other methods. If student behavior is significantly disruptive or endangering, you will be expected to come and pick up your child.

Students may not possess or use any tobacco products, alcohol, suspected controlled substance, or weapons during this field trip. Students who violate this rule will be excluded from participating in any further travel activity. School officials will be immediately notified, and current School District policies governing these offenses will be enforced.

I give Butler Area School District and Logan Tours Inc permission to search the bag of my son/daughter.
