904.1 - TRANSPORTING STUDENTS IN PRIVATE VEHICLES

Generally, transporting students for school purposes shall be done in a vehicle owned by the school district and driven by a school employee.  Students may be transported in private vehicles for school purposes.  It shall be within the discretion of the superintendent or principal to determine when this is appropriate.

Individuals transporting students for school purposes in private vehicles must have the permission of the superintendent or principal.  Private vehicles will be used only when proof of insurance has been supplied to the superintendent or principal and when the parents of the students to be transported have given written permission to the superintendent or principal.  The school district assumes no responsibility for those students who ride in private vehicles for school purposes.

This policy statement applies to transportation of students for school purposes in addition to transporting students to and from their designated attendance center.  It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to develop administrative regulations regarding this policy.
