Regular and punctual attendance in school is also considered when selecting potential travelers. Students who travel with the DC Travelers should be considered the best of the best of our students bodies and International Ambassadors for our state and nation. Students must pay their own way for these trips abroad. The DC Board of Education does not allow school fund raising for International travel.
