Generally, transportation of students shall be in a motor vehicle owned by the school district and driven by an employee. In some cases, it may be more economical or efficient for the school district to allow another employee of the school district to transport the students in the employee's motor vehicle or in a school district motor vehicle, other than a school bus.
Employees who transport students for school district purposes other than on the regular bus route must have completed a transportation request and have received the permission of the superintendent and must provide to the superintendent, for copying, a current driver’s license and proof of insurance. In cases of emergency, an employee will notify the superintendent of the employee’s transportation of a student as soon as possible.
This policy statement applies to transportation of students for school purposes in addition to the regular bus route transporting students to and from their designated attendance center.
Travel compensation for use of personal motor vehicles will be followed according to the rate specified in board policy.
