STUDENT VEHICLE POLICY

1. The school is legally responsible for students placed under its care during school hours. Uncontrolled use of vehicles is a danger to both driver/students. Because of the imposed liabilities, the school has developed the following guidelines, to which students are expected to adhere.

(a) Students driving to school will present to the school written permission to do so from their parents (forms can be obtained at the office).

(b) Proof of insurance and driver’s permit are to be submitted along with parental permission.

2. Students driving vehicles to school will not be permitted to use them at lunch-time unless they are returning home, or unless they have the express permission of the school and parents.

3. Students driving vehicles are permitted to leave the school grounds while buses are loading.

4. Any driving that in the opinion of the school constitutes a danger to the students, at any time during the school day, will result in loss of the privilege.

5. Occasional student use of a vehicle will be approved through the school administration.

6. Special Privileges: Those students accorded special privileges will be allowed the use of their vehicle to travel to and from their specified location (Work Experience).

7. Vehicles are not to be used as a location for eating lunches, etc...

8. Students driving a vehicle during school hours shall endeavor to be exemplary drivers at all times. Repeated complaints (such as spinning tires, spraying rocks, excessive noise from loud mufflers, stunting, speeding, etc.) from staff or the citizens of the community shall be considered just cause for suspension of driving privileges during school hours, pending an investigation by the administration.

9. A student abusing any of the above privileges will be asked to turn in his/her keys to the office during school hours. Continued abuse will result in the suspension of all privileges.
