Legal Question in Administrative Law in Florida

Hello. How far does a teacher's authority extend outside the school campus, say on a field trip? Can the teacher enforce policies that are specific to the campus (e.g dress code)? Would students driving themselves to a different location outside the school campus, but in school hours to attend a class taught by a school employee be subjected to the school's policies? Would those students be under the school's responsibility (while they are off-campus) ?

I would appreciate it if someone could address these questions, thanks.
