Whereas, field trips and curricular excursions are part of the approved curriculum and standards within districts in the state of California, and should not cause harm to students; and

Whereas, these trips are taxpayer funded;

Therefore, be it resolved, that CFT call on school districts to reevaluate approved field trip and curricular excursion locations to assure they align with CFT’s statements and positions on Black Lives Matter, undocumented immigrants, and other marginalized communities within our schools; and to remove sites that don’t align with these values and cause harm to our students.
