A quick, cursory Google search about the decline of field trips in today’s education system will return results pointing the blame in a number of directions. Two of these being the excessive paperwork involved and lack of extra time to devote to completing the paperwork. Depending on the school district, approval is often a lengthy chain involving a number of individuals, including:
Principal
Superintendent
Fiscal managers
Transportation directors
School nutritionist
Curriculum advisers
School board
School district
For many school districts, the entire planning process is done by paper, paper, and more paper. The paperwork is shuffled around by hand or email and frustrations run high when it goes missing. Organization is key in successfully executing a field trip from start to finish, especially when folders filled with paper are passed from person to person. App-Garden recognized a need for a better, more efficient, and streamlined method for planning field trips to ensure the optimal education for students.
