School Responsibility to Inform Parents of Incident on Field Trip
In Boise Idaho, 64 students went on a choir trip to Washington State. On trip 3 girls snuck out of their room & went to a boys room where the 6 students had alcohol and sexual activity. Bragging the next day, students' activities were discovered. Do the parents of the 56 students who did NOT 'misbehave' have a right to be informed that this happened while their 14-18 yr. old children were on a school-sponsored 3-day trip BEFORE the SAME administrators and chaperones take the SAME group of students (minus the 6) on another choir tour to the State of Washington two weeks later? We have been told it is illegal to NOTIFY parents of this incident.

Re: School Responsibility to Inform Parents of Incident on Field Trip
It sounds like this incident had nothing to do with your children, so notifying you of the details would serve what purpose other than reveal information about someone else's child?
The fact is, the kids *snuck* out, it's not necessarily the fault of the chaperones, unless of course they required to have stayed up all night monitoring each and every teenager.
