I, ___________________, give my child, _________________, permission to attend and participate in overnight trips hosted by Gainesville FFA.  I understand that while student safety is a high priority for the district, under state law, the school is not responsible for medical costs associated with a student injury. 

I expressly waive all claims for medical expenses, loss of services, or other claims, and I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the district, its trustees, employees, and agents from all claims made against it or them on behalf of my child. 

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the district, its trustees, employees, and agents from all claims made by third parties against it or them which result from my child’s actions on the trip. 

I understand that the district, its trustees, employees, and agents are now waiving any sovereign or governmental immunity which it or they have under Texas law.

I have read and understand this release and sign it voluntarily and with full knowledge of its significance.
