Following an “incident” at the natural classroom, Arlington Public Schools has suspended overnight field trips to the Outdoor Lab.
Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jeffrey Long said in an email that an incident involving students was reported to the sheriff’s office on March 30. The investigation is ongoing, but no charges had been filed as ofThe Outdoor Lab is about a 200-acre facility owned and maintained by the nonprofit Arlington Outdoor Education Association about an hour west of Arlington.
“We paused the overnight portion through the end of the school year to allow the necessary time to review and update our policies and procedures and to ensure all staff and volunteers are well trained and informed for the safety and well being of all involved,” Bellavia said in an email. Adam Simkin, president of the Discovery Elementary School PTA and a father, said he hoped to see the overnight field trip return. He attended the Outdoor Lab field trip himself more than 30 years ago and said he still raves about it.
