Private Transportation of Students
In accordance with state school regulations, school authorities are empowered to supervise and control private transportation at school and may require student-operated vehicles to be registered and properly parked according to the policy of the school. Elementary and middle school students are not permitted to operate gas/electric powered vehicles on school grounds. Violations endangering public or private safety or lack of consideration for the public welfare in the operation of a vehicle are among the causes for which a principal /designee may suspend the driving privilege of a student's privately driven motor transportation to and from school. No student enrolled below the ninth grade in school may operate motor-driven transportation to or from school.
