What a Teacher needs to know about Bus Grants for the Docent-Led Children's Program

The Torrey Pines Docent Society wants to afford the experience for school children that normally wouldn't have the transportation funds to take a field trip to Torrey Pines State Reserve. Bus Grants are provided to qualifying schools in need of transportation funds up to $125.00 per visit for a bus. Any amount over this must be cleared with the Director or Coordinator of the Children's Program.

All Bus Grants must be pre-approved before a school makes a trip to the Reserve. Typically, Title 1 schools qualify for a Bus Grant.

Bus Grants are only provided for schools requesting field trips on Docent-led program days, which are Thursday and Friday mornings only, September-May.

If a Bus Grant is approved, please make sure there are approximately 60 children (same grade level or adjacent level) scheduled for the trip. The Docents will not provide funds for a large bus with only one classroom (20 children or so.)

If you think your school might qualify for a Bus Grant, then:
