  • Trip cost worksheet for review
  • Parent summary checklist
  • Admin approval reminder list

What this assumes

What needs a local check?

  • Use group counts, section labels, bus labels, or initials instead of a private student roster.
  • Keep medical details, emergency contacts, full room assignments, addresses, parent phone lists, payment records, and deposits in approved school or booster systems.
  • Trip approval, supervision, transportation, lodging, medication, dietary, refund, and payment rules must be checked with official school, district, booster, and travel sources.
  • Missing, malformed, or negative required numbers are flagged, and totals that depend on them stay pending. Entered dates must be real calendar dates.

The math

How the totals work

Total trip cost sums the cost rows. Net family cost subtracts program and fundraising offsets. Cost per student divides net family cost by the student count; cost per traveler divides by students plus adults. The deposit schedule totals per-student deposit rows and shows the remainder against cost per student.
