Has anyone's schools cancelled their trips?

Because of the upcoming war on Iraq, the superintendent of the school board in my town has to make a decision on whether our team will be going to nationals. were gona try as hard as we can to make him let us go because we did alot of fundrasing and a lot of work over the year and during the build to get there. I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem?

So far so good. We have no money for nationals, if we win at LA Regional, those going have to pay for themselves. School district knows what we're up to and haven't said nay.

yes our superintendent has cancelled all trips that cannot be refunded. fortunately, our team has made all reservations for Nationals, and we did go to the AZ regional this past weekend. our school district is the 6th largest in the country (Clark County School District), it serves the Las Vegas, NV area. My sister's 8th grade band trip to Los Angeles and Disnleyland has been canceled. i think the school districts are getting way out of hand, good luck with yours.

Well so far none of the schools that make up RAGE have cancelled our trips. But this is only until this weekend at Long Island. SO hopefully we will still need their permission for Nationals which has been approved but still has to be approved if we do go to war.

Smithtown School District just cancelled 810's trip to San Jose, CA., apparently.

Way to go.

Whatever happened to carrying on with our normal lives?

Air travel is no more dangous now then it was 2 weeks ago and won't be any more so next month.

Thank god my team isn't involved with any school.

If my trip gets cancelled, there'll be a 5-seater car driven by me to Houston. I'll pick up anyone who wants to go

So far our superintendent is all about having us go and compete at nats. If the school board wishes to forbid it than i will "get sick" and not come to school.

So far at our school, our school board hasent had much contact with the team. I dont exactly see how they could cancel a trip, especialy if it cant be refunded. I hope no one tries to sue their school, that would be odd. I hope everyone out there who are being restricted finds some way around it! FedEx can always handel large frieght... lol

Isn't that one of the rules of FIRST, that you have to be involved with a school??? ..........

Please explain. I am confused.

Sorry people!

But I don't think our school system can cancel ANY of our trips, because they are NOT connected to the district, not district-funded, and they have NO control over the robotics team.

So, I'm lucky!
