  Case: Chaperones brings a cooler of beer and wine on the bus
During an over-night field trip with students, one of the chaperones brings a cooler of beer and wine on the bus to share after the students go to bed. After the students are put in their rooms, chaperones start consuming the alcoholic beverages before the final student bed check is made. What would you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would definitely contact an administrator and let them know immediately what is going on. I don't even know if I would get into a confrontation with the parent. I would just let administration handle the situation. First of all, a trip with students is not the time nor place for drinking alcohol. Something could happen to the students and these chaperones would be held accountable. This is very irresponsible and extremely against school policy.

Comments: Agreed, rules and regulations of school policy are still in tact if you are on a field trip. Also, the teacher present and having knowledge of it puts them at risk for punishment or termination.
