DRIVER SAFETY EDUCATION
9-10-11-12
A student must have a valid Iowa Instruction Permit when the course begins. It is strongly recommended that the student have the Instruction Permit and do some fundamental driving for at least two months before the class begins. Under the Iowa Driver’s Education Law, the Iowa Department of Public Safety will not issue a driver’s license to anyone under the age of 18 years unless the person has successfully completed an approved course in Driver’s Education. If the course has been successfully completed, the minimum age is 16 years.
The student must successfully complete a minimum of thirty (30) clock hours of classroom instruction and six (6) clock hours of behind-the-wheel instruction.
Students will be evaluated in the following manner:
A. Classroom - Chapter tests and assignments/projects at the Instructor’s discretion.
B. Behind the wheel - Students will be evaluated based on their skills and judgment as shown throughout the driving experience.
Driver’s Education is offered to students during the months of May, June and July and again during the months of August, September and October. Announcements for driver’s education registration are announced in our daily announcements. This class does not meet during the regular school day.
