401.11 - Transporting of Students by General Personnel

Generally, transportation of students shall be in a motor vehicle owned by the school district and driven by a school bus driver.  In some cases, it may be more economical or efficient for the school district to allow another employee of the district to transport the students in their personal motor vehicle or in a school district motor vehicle, other than a school bus. The administration may allow school approved transportation by others.

School district employees who transport students for school purposes must have the permission of the superintendent/designee.

This policy statement applies to transportation of students for school purposes in addition to the regular bus routes transporting students to and from their designated attendance center.
