license.

To obtain a special minor’s license according to the Iowa Department of Transportation, the minor must be

between fourteen and eighteen years of age and have successfully completed a driver education course.

The Iowa Code also states that the licensee may drive during the hours of 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. over the most

direct and accessible route between the licensee’s residence and school of enrollment for the purpose of

attending duly scheduled courses of instruction and extracurricular activities at the school.

The Board of Directors of the Osage Community School District has approved operating procedures that
