MANAGEMENT SUPPORT PRIVATE
VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION
The board authorizes the use of private vehicles under the
following circumstances:
- Under unusual circumstances, the district may request
parents, or a responsible adult, to drive children to school in
their own vehicles on a per-mile cost reimbursable basis. The
transportation department determines when "in-lieu" transportation
would be advantageous to the district and arranges its
implementation. In cases where car pools are formed by families,
reimbursement shall be provided only to the parent whose car is
used to transport the students to school.
- Upon written approval of the principal, staff may transport
students when a student's welfare is involved; when due care
dictates prompt action, when engaged in occasional field trip
activity or when engaged in an occasional extracurricular
activity. The staff member shall acknowledge that he/she agrees to
assume full responsibility for any liability or property damage,
comprehensive or collision, made by or against the driver/owner of
the vehicle. The district's liability insurance shall cover the
risk assumed by the district. The mileage of the staff member
shall be reimbursed by the district.
The superintendent shall establish procedures for the use of
private auto transportation.
