What is iFieldTrip?
iFieldTrip (ifieldtrip.lausd.net) is the online field trip request system replacing the paper approval process. Based on trip details input by the requestor, the system triggers the appropriate approvers to certify online. Requestors and approvers can check a trip’s status at any time. All high schools began using the system for athletic trips in January 2020. While a number of schools have begun submitting non-athletic trips through the new system, more schools will be integrated in the coming months.
Insurance Compliance works closely with Principals, Regional Offices, the Division of Instruction, and the Office of Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS) to ensure that LAUSD field trips are not only academically stimulating but occur in a safe environment.
Things to Remember:
- Overnight trips, out-of-state trips, and sites not on the pre-approved list require the prior approval of the Regional District and Risk Management.
- All overnight field trips to pre-approved sites require approval of the Regional District and Risk Management.
- Please provide 45 days for evaluation of all non-routine, overnight, or out-of-state trips.
