Field trips
Oklahoma City Schools will not be cutting field trips because of fuel prices, spokeswoman Kathleen Kennedy said.
That's in part because of money the district receives from the Foundation for Oklahoma City Public Schools, she said.
The foundation gives school organizations up to $1,000 to go to academic or artistic competitions through a program called Student InCENTives, spokes-woman Melissa Milligan said.
Last year, the maximum was $500, but Milligan said the foundation doubled the amount specifically because of rising costs.
A little more than $7,000 was doled out last year, she said.
Separately, some places such as the Gaylord-Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum as well as the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History offer help covering transportation costs for school groups.
