904 COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES INVOLVING STUDENTS

904.1 TRANSPORTING STUDENTS IN PRIVATE VEHICLES

Generally, transporting students for school purposes is 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 is within the discretion of the superintendent or his/her designee to determine when this is appropriate.

School Employees transporting students for school purposes in private vehicles must have the permission of the superintendent.  Students securing rides with other student or other individuals to off-site schools or school activities do so at their own risk.

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.
