Generally, transportation of students for school purposes shall be done in a transportation vehicle owned by the school district and driven by a school bus driver. Students may be transported in private vehicles for school purposes. It shall be within the discretion of the administration to determine when this is appropriate.
Individuals transporting students for school purposes in private vehicles must have the permission of administration. Private vehicles will be used only when proof of insurance has been supplied to the administration. The school district assumes no responsibility for those students who have not received the approval of the administration and who ride in private vehicles for school purposes.
This policy statement applies to transportation of students for school purposes in addition to the regular bus route transporting students to and from their designated attendance center. It shall be the responsibility of the administration to develop administrative regulations regarding this policy.
