751.3 -CO-CURRICULAR STUDENT TRANSPORTATION
The very nature of many school activities and experiences requires that students be transported to other locations. It is the policy of the district to approve and make transportation arrangements for all such activities. All students are required to travel with the coach, organization advisor, or faculty representative on the transportation provided. Seating arrangements are the responsibility of the faculty representative or advisor in charge.When students ride a bus, or other school arranged transportation, they will be expected to ride the same bus home unless the following criteria is met:
1. A written request stating that the student will accompany the parent is presented, via face to face contact, by the parent at the site.
2. People who should receive this request are the coach(es), bus chaperone(s), band or chorus instructor(s), co-curricular activity advisor(s), or faculty representative in charge.
The above listed people will be responsible for following proper procedure. This is to insure the safety and well being of all students that ride school arranged transportation.
It is also recognized that emergency circumstances may arise which make it necessary and appropriate for parents to secure alternative transportation for their own student(s) to and/or from school sponsored events. In such cases, parents should contact the principal (or designee) to make arrangements. Written communication, documenting the parental request, is necessary and will placed in the student’s file prior to the scheduled event. The coach or supervisor must be informed of any special transportation arrangements before the scheduled departure of the trip. When alternative transportation for the return trip is arranged, a written note and face to face release is required (see #1 above).
