TRANSPORTATION FOR SCHOOL-RELATED TRIPS

Driver Instructions / Vehicle Requirements

Driver: Please keep these instructions for your information

*The teacher / trip organizer is required to submit a driver list and completed paperwork for

each driver to the school office at least one week prior to the trip. Please return your

completed “School Driver Registration Form” and a current copy of your auto insurance

Declaration Page showing limits of liability to the teacher / trip organizer in a timely

manner.

When using your vehicle to transport students on field trips or other school activity trips:

Parent permission forms must state the name of the driver when privately owned

vehicles are used for field trips.

A volunteer driver will be at least 21 years of age unless specific approval has been

given for a younger driver by the superintendent or designee.

Be sure that you have registered with the district for such purposes and have a valid

driver’s license and current liability insurance at or above the minimum amount

required by law for each occurrence.

Check the safety of your vehicle: tires, brakes, lights, horn, suspension, etc. It is

expected that all vehicles be maintained in a safe condition in compliance with all

applicable motor vehicle requirements.

Carry only the number of passengers for which your vehicle was designed. If you

have a pickup truck, carry only as many as can safely sit in the passenger

compartment. Students are not to be transported in an open vehicle.

Require each passenger to use an appropriate child restraint system (child car seat

or booster seat) or safety belt in accordance with law. No child under the age of 12

shall ride in a seat containing an air bag.

Do not smoke a pipe, cigar, or cigarette while there are minors in the vehicle, as

required by law.

Obey all traffic laws.

Take the most direct route to the destination or even without unnecessary stops.

In case of emergency, keep all students together and call 911

and the district office.
