Field Trips Cancelled Due to Budget Cuts | Fresno News

Fresno Unified’s $2.2 million budget cuts mean 40,000 students are losing field trips this year — from the Monterey Bay Aquarium to the Big Fresno Fair. Parents erupted online in outrage, while the Fresno Teachers’ Association launched a petition that hit 5,000 signatures in under 24 hours. Despite the uproar, no parents showed up to the school board’s first meeting since the cuts — but FTA leaders say it’s not apathy, just a lack of access. The teachers are pushing for change, and you can still make your voice heard at the next school board meeting on September 9th at 5:30 PM.
