Use of Motor Vehicles
Use of Motor Vehicles
The Board of Education regards the use of motor vehicles for travel to and from school by students as an assumption of responsibility on the part of those students -- a responsibility in the care of property, in the observation of safety rules, and in the display of courtesy and consideration toward others – and an assumption of liability on the part of those students and their parent(s).
The Superintendent shall develop administrative guidelines for the operation and parking of motor vehicles by students which shall include the requirement that students are licensed drivers and have adequate liability insurance.
The Board shall not be responsible for motor vehicles which are lost, stolen, or damaged while on school property.
SAFE OPERATION OF MOTORIZED UTILITY VEHICLES BY STUDENTS
Because of the clear and present danger of accident, the Board of Education prohibits the use of motorized utility vehicles by students on school grounds or for school activity purposes.
Operators shall participate in basic safety training for operation of motorized utility vehicles, as prescribed in the administrative guidelines, prior to operating any such vehicle(s). Individuals authorized to operate such utility vehicles may not allow anyone else to use the vehicle (e.g., other students, relatives, friends, etc.). The utility vehicle may only be used for the specific activity and function that has been assigned.
