Following months of discussion, the Warwick School Board adopted a
revised set of field trip guidelines during their meeting Tuesday night.
Talk about the guidelines started when board members expressed concern
about the number of field trip requests and the impact trips have both on the
students who go and those who are left in the classroom. Many of the guide­lines
are not new.
As an extension of instructional time, all educational trips must relate
directly to the curriculum. The guidelines also stipulate that 60 percent of the
class (elementary), team or instructional level (middle and high school) must
partipate if the district is to provide a staff member as a chaperone. If less than
60percent participate, then the travelling group must cover the cost of substi­tutes
and other related travel expenses.
Trips must be chaperoned according to district policy and teachers not
directly related to the students or curriculum activity will not be approved for
chaperone responsibilities. Substitute teachers and/or parents may be used to
chaperone trips as the administration deems appropriate.
The guidelines regulate the hours of arrival and departure on a school day
or day preceding school. In order to participate, students must be passing four
of five or five of six subjects and cannot have two or more suspensions. Stu­dents
must also have their parents complete the appropriate forms.
All out-of-state and overnight field trips must have school board approval.
Board member Madelyn Buckwalter also suggested that the board specify the
time that the teachers have to submit requests.
Regarding the ongoing discussion between the Lititz Public Library Board
and school district about pooling resources for an expansion of the library, the
board appointed Dr. Daniel Doremus, assistant superintendent, as a district

As the local population continues to grow, the Lititz Post Office on East Main Street is experiencing its
share of growing pains.

As the population in the Lititz area
continues to grow, so does the
amount of mail moving through the
Lititz Post Office. That’s one reason
why the Lititz Post Office is ,on the
district postal service’s tentative
five-year replacement list.
However, simply being on the list
does not mean that the post office is
destined to move or expand within
the coming years, said Anthony
DiRado, manager of administrative
services for the Lancaster Customer
Service and Sales District Before
any definite plans are set the entire
concept must have postal service
approval.
“It’s not an official project It’s
just something we’re looking to in
the future,” DiRado said.
DiRado explained that the postal
service has a facilities plan that exa­mines
each of the district’s almost
400 offices and determines then- dif­ferent
needs.
He said that the Lititz Post Office
has been considered for enlargement
because of space limitations at the
current site on Main .Street.
“We need to look at what we can
do to solve the problem,” DiRado
said.
. Before the Lititz Post Office even
becomes an approved project, the
entire concept must go through a
detailed process. Among other
things, the postal service determines
whether or not the move is both eco­nomically
feasible and absolutely
necessary, DiRado said.
The post office’s fiscal year runs
from September 1994 through Sep­tember
1995 and DiRado said that
they would like to try to get approval
for the project sometime during the
current fiscal year — if possible.
Even with that approval — should it
come — it would still take time until
construction on a new or expanded
building could take place because the
post office must go through the
appropriate steps with the municipal­ity
in which they would like to build.
At this point, DiRado said he
knows of no prospective locations
for a new post office, but noted that
the current one does not leave much
room for further expansion.
Before the post office considers a
site, DiRado said they must first have
all the necessary approvals from the
postal service, then submit the idea to
their real estate, design and construc­tion
people to determine the best
course of action. '
