702.03 - Student Transportation for Extracurricular Activities

The board in its discretion may provide school district transportation to students for extracurricular activities including, but not limited to, transporting student participants and other students to and from extracurricular events.

Students participating in extracurricular events, other than those held at the school district facilities, shall be transported to the extracurricular event by school transportation vehicles or by another means approved by the superintendent.  In some cases students attending extracurricular events, other than those held at the school district facilities, will be transported to the extracurricular event by school transportation.

Students, who are provided school-sponsored transportation for extracurricular events, shall ride both to and from the event in the school vehicle.  A student’s parent(s) or guardian(s) may personally appear and request to transport the student home from a school-sponsored event in which the student traveled to the event on school-sponsored transportation.

It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to make a recommendation to the board annually as to whether the school district shall provide the transportation authorized in this policy.  In making the recommendation to the board, the superintendent shall consider the budget of the school district, the number of pupils who would qualify for such transportation, and other factors the board or superintendent deem relevant.
