Irena, I'm in a hurry as usual, but fwiw, when we were dealing with our dd's first school and having issues, we found talking to the legal advice person at FAAN and getting his advice was very helpful (and very free!). I don't know if they still offer that service - it was probably 8 years ago when we were working through 504 etc issues for our dd, but I'd definitely give them a call and ask your question re field trips etc.
