22. S-TRIPS
Gleneagle Secondary School or District #43 is not connected with nor do we support the student organized S-trips. We do not sanction or allow S- trip meetings to occur at school. The information we have about past S-trips indicates that there is a definite difference between both supervision and behavior standards for an S-trip as compared to a school authorized trip.
