Renaissance Center reduces field trip prices to help systems struggling with budgets, fuel costs
With fuel costs forcing school systems across the area to tighten budgets, The Renaissance Center in Dickson announces it will be reducing costs on some field trip activities in order to make sure students can continue to enjoy the many educationally enriching opportunities of the center.
Executive Director Doug Jackson announced that prices for programs in The Renaissance Center’s science theatre and world-class planetarium will be reduced this fall to $3 per student for groups of at least 75 students.
