Code No. 502.4
USE OF MOTOR VEHICLES
The board recognizes the convenience to families and students of having students drive to and park at their school attendance center. Driving a motor vehicle to and parking it at the student's attendance center is a privilege.
Students who drive to and park at their school attendance center shall only drive to and park at their designated attendance center. Students may not loiter around or be in their vehicle during the school day without permission from the principal. Students shall leave their attendance center when there is no longer a legitimate reason for them to be at their attendance center. Students who drive shall enter and leave the parking lot by the routes designated by the high school principal.
Students who wish to drive to and park at their school attendance center shall comply with the rules and regulations established by the principal of their attendance center or by the school district. Failure to comply with this policy or the school district rules may be reason for revocation of school driving and parking privileges as well as other disciplinary action.
Students requesting school driving permits must submit a request in writing to the superintendent or designee. Students who live within one mile of school, and would not otherwise be eligible for a student driving permit, may be eligible for a student driving permit, for driving to and from school and school activities and practices, if the student is required to travel more than one mile from their home to the school activity on an on-going basis (i.e. attending practices at a field that is more than one mile from home). A student with a disability may be eligible for a student permit if the permit is determined by the superintendent or deisgnee to be an aid in overcoming the disability.
