The field trip will give students an opportunity to explore careers in transportation, construction, and engineering, including the training and education available for those careers at the postsecondary level. AUSD has been visiting High Speed Rail and Fresno State University since 2022. Board of Education approval is necessary as the trip requires overnight travel.
