TRANSPORTING STUDENTS IN PRIVATE VEHICLES
School-owned vehicles will be used to transport students who participate in school-sponsored activities, unless the administration considers it best to use a private vehicle.
If a private vehicle is used to transport students to school-sponsored activities, it must be driven by a responsible adult, and approved in advance by the superintendent or principal. If a private vehicle is used, the rate of reimbursement to the owner shall be at the rate established by the Board for reimbursement of approved travel expenses. The person whose vehicle is being used must be able to show proof that accident and liability insurance carried on the vehicle is sufficient and up-to-date.
The school is not responsible for student safety in any instances when students ride in private vehicles driven by anyone but an authorized adult. Parents shall not be asked or required to provide transportation for school-related activities; nor may students transport other students on school-sponsored trips.
