The Board of Education authorizes the transportation by private vehicle of students of the District.

Any such transportation must be approved in advance and in writing by the principal in accordance with the District Administrator's administrative guidelines.

The parent of the participating student will be given, on request, the name of the driver and the description of the vehicle.

No person shall be approved for the transportation of students in a private vehicle who is not the holder of a currently-valid license to operate a motor vehicle in the State of Wisconsin, and has signed the form provided by the District.

Any person otherwise qualified to transport students shall agree not to carry a concealed weapon while transporting students, other than the person’s own children, even if they are a holder of a concealed carry permit. This does not apply to law enforcement personnel.

No person shall be permitted to transport students who is not the holder of automobile liability and personal injury insurance in the amount required by District administrative guidelines. The District Administrator may withdraw the authorization of any private vehicle driver whose insurance is not adequate.

Any private vehicle used for the transportation of students must be owned by the approved driver or the spouse of the approved driver and must conform to registration requirements of the State.

The responsibility of professional staff members for the discipline and control of students will extend to their transportation of students in a private vehicle. Drivers who are not professional staff members are requested to report student misconduct to the principal.
