VI.C. Foreign Language Spring Travel Update
Description:
The administration made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s spring break trips. It was a tough decision because we know how much excitement and anticipation students and parents had for these trips and the financial investments that families made. All of that was at the forefront as we have made efforts to postpone, reschedule, re-plan, and make accommodations for overseas travel the past two years.
Despite all of that work, we have deemed school-sponsored foreign travel is not safe at this time with both Spain and France having a Level 4 "Do No Travel" Advisory in effect by the Department of State due to Terrorism, Civil Unrest, and Health. The District will assist families in resolving financial implications for the trip cancellation with tour management company, ACIS. |
