Legacy Field Trip Support Fund
The Legacy Field Trip Support Fund will help an estimated 39,000 Minnesota students experience field trips at Minnesota historic sites and museums statewide in FY12 and FY13. The high cost of transportation prohibits many Minnesota teachers from taking their students on field trips. The Legacy Field Trip Support Fund offsets transportation costs to all of the Minnesota Historical Society's 26 museums and historic sites statewide. Eligible schools are reimbursed $3 per student.
The Legacy Field Trip Support Fund will allow thousands of Minnesota students to experience field trips at Minnesota historic sites. The fund provides busing subsidies to schools that have 25 percent or more of their students enrolled in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program.
Programs. $4,800,000 the first year and $4,800,000 the second year are for programs and purposes related to the historical and cultural heritage of the state of Minnesota, conducted by the Minnesota Historical Society.
