The program, made possible by the Spirit Mountain Community Fund (SMCF) grant, will now pay for buses for low-income schools in the couties listed above. Schools qualify by the percentage of students who rely on the free and/or reduced-price lunch program. The grant helps underwrite the anticipated costs of bus trans portation to and from the Oregon Zoo for as many as 9,000 children and their chaperones. “With Oregon public schools facing devastating budget cuts, it’s im portant that we continue to make these experiences available to students,” said Tony Vecchio, zoo director. The grant will provide public schools in these eligible counties with up to three free buses to transport students to and from the zoo. As a condition of the grant, the zoo is making a special effort to serve schools with more than 50 percent student eligibility in the free and/or reduced-price lunch program. For more details on the field trip program or to check on eligibility for your school, call 503-220-2781. ..........------ ----------
