AI agent for secondary school teachers
Field Trip Logistics and Permission Agent
Every student going on the trip has a slip, payment, medical details and transport confirmed by the deadline.
What it does
A field trip needs a slip, a payment, medical information and a seat on a bus for every student, and the teacher chases each by hand. The agent builds the trip checklist from the school's trip policy, then reads the class list against the returned slips and payments. It marks each student as complete, missing a slip, missing payment or missing medical information, and drafts personal reminders for each gap. It checks the allergy and medical list against the trip plan, for example a nut allergy against the lunch stop, and flags any clash. After reminders go out it checks again and escalates students still missing at a set date. The teacher approves every message. Edge case: a student on a fee waiver should not get a payment reminder.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

- Read the class list, slips, payments and medical records
- Mark each student complete or list the missing items
- Check allergies and medical needs against the plan

- Send reminders and update the tracker
- Is every student complete or excused by the deadline minus 3 days?If not: Escalate the remaining students to the teacher with a call list. Back to step 3.
- Final trip roster and checklist
How it decides
It tracks each student's four items, and sends a gap to the teacher when two reminders have gone unanswered.
- Four items per student: slip, payment, medical, transport
- Fee waiver students skip payment reminders
- Allergy clash with the plan blocks approval
- Two unanswered reminders go to the teacher
