Pre-RFPEducation & TrainingDetected May 27, 2026

Lopez Island School District is revising and reviewing Policy 2320 (Field Trips, Excursions and Outdoor Education) and Policy 2325 (International & Extended Trips), with a first read scheduled at the May 27, 2026 board meeting. The updated Policy 2325 explicitly outlines program design, approval processes, financial expectations, safety requirements, and detailed contract requirements for travel agency and travel organization partners, including background checks, insurance, licenses, indemnification, and clearly defined roles. These policy changes formalize how extended and international trips are proposed, approved, and delivered, and they will govern future partnerships with travel organizations, tour operators, and risk management providers.Travel companies and student tour providers can use this to align offerings with LISD’s academic, inclusivity, and safety expectations, positioning themselves for upcoming trips such as the Japan, Maui, and other extended travel experiences listed on the same agenda.

Contract requirements for travel partners include background checks, proof of insurance, required licenses, indemnification, and clearly defined roles and responsibilities.
