However, the Superintendent shall have the discretion to determine when students may be transported in private vehicles for school purposes.

Individuals transporting students for school purposes in private vehicles must have the permission of the Building Principal.  Private vehicles will be used only when proof of insurance has been supplied to the Building Principal and when the parents of the students to be transported have given written permission to the Building Principal.  The District assumes no responsibility for those students who have not received the approval of the Building Principal and who ride in private vehicles for school purposes.

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