The board recognizes the convenience to families and students of having students drive to and park at their school attendance center. Driving a motor vehicle to and parking it at the student's attendance center is a privilege.
Students who drive to and park at their school attendance center will only drive to and park at their designated attendance center or at either their attendance center or a shared district’s attendance center for the purpose of attending extra curricular activities. Students may not loiter around or be in their vehicle during the school day without permission from the principal. Students will leave their attendance center when there is no longer a legitimate reason for them to be at their attendance center. Students who drive will enter and leave the parking lot by the routes designated by the principal.
Students who live within one mile of school, and would not otherwise be eligible for a student driving permit, may be eligible for a student driving permit, for driving to and from school and school activities and practices, if the student meets the criteria established in the student handbook.
Students who wish to drive to and park at their school attendance center will comply with the rules and regulations established by the building principal. Failure to comply with this policy or the school district rules is reason for revocation of school driving and parking privileges as well as other disciplinary action including suspension and expulsion.
