PHILADELPHIA — Quinta Brunson wants you to dig into your pocket to make free field trips possible for Philadelphia students.

The actress, writer and comedian — along with Philadelphia School District officials and the leader of the district’s nonprofit arm — announced the “Quinta Brunson Field Trip Fund” on Tuesday.

District teachers and administrators will be able to apply for money for field trips by completing a short application subject to evaluation by an independent, internal group of educators. Field trip grants will be made twice a year.

Brunson, of “Abbott Elementary” fame, grew up in West Philadelphia and spent time in district and charter schools. She named her smash-hit TV show, now in its fifth season, for Joyce Abbott, her sixth grade teacher at Andrew Hamilton Elementary.
