Here at the NRRA we have 2 parent chaperones on each bus. At hotels we have 2-4 depending on the size of the trip. I'm not aware of any laws on the books.
As far as liability goes. Our insurance covers all employees AND volunteers of the organization so a coach and a parent have the same coverage. Check with your insurance company.
One other thing we do around here is compare with the public high schools. They usually have a good handle on the state regulations. Sometimes they go overboard (no pun intended) as school boards are apt to do.......
Happy to chat anytime....

Hi all,It has been quite a while since I've seen a posting from this group, so I hope this email reaches someone. I am a former parent coordinator for a Jr. rowing program, and am still involved on a less regular basis.I have a question regarding some information I heard about youth regatta chaperones. Is there a designated ratio of chaperone to rower required by law? and, just how liable are the chaperones for the kids? Every rower's parents have signed a release of liability waiver to the club, and a permission to travel form.Has this information been updated or changed lately?Thanks for any information you have on this.Wyndham JacksonZLAC Rowing Club
