NORTH LEWISBURG — Triad Local Schools is reviewing its field trip policies and implementing more detailed protocols after two 18-year-old students were left behind in Madison County following an academic competition Saturday, March 13, according to Superintendent Craig Meredith.

The principal of Triad High School is conducting an investigation and appropriate action will be taken, Meredith said.

“To my knowledge, the teacher reportedly mistakenly thought that those students were on the bus,” he said.

The teacher had taken a group of 20 to 30 high school students to Tolles Career Center in Madison County for an academic competition, according to Meredith.

The students had cell phones and were able to contact their parents to secure a ride home, he said.

“We have reviewed our administrative guidelines relative to field trip procedures and we feel that it will be in our interest to instruct a more detailed protocol that will be added to those guidelines,” Meredith said.
