Code No. 711.3
Student Transportation for Extracurricular Activities
The board in its discretion may provide school district transportation to students for extracurricular activities including, but not limited to, transporting student participants and other students to and from extracurricular events.
Students participating in extracurricular events, other than those held at the school district facilities, shall be transported to the extracurricular event by school transportation vehicles or by another means approved by the superintendent. In some cases, students attending extracurricular events, other than those held at the school district facilities, will be transported to the extracurricular event by school transportation.
Students who are provided transportation for extracurricular events shall ride both to and from the event in the school vehicle unless the student’s parents give notarized written permission for the student to be otherwise transported or the student’s parents personally appear to transport the student.
The board in its discretion may provide transportation to students for extracurricular activities, including transporting students after extracurricular activities practice during the school week. Students will be eligible for this transportation if they meet the terms of board policy, “Student School Transportation Eligibility”.
It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to make a recommendation to the board as to whether the school district shall provide the transportation authorized in this policy. In making the recommendation to the board, the superintendent shall consider the budget of the school district, the number of pupils who would qualify for such transportation, and other factors deemed relevant by the board, the superintendent, or the transportation director.
