1. The transportation arrangement has the approval of the most senior staff member present. Effort should be made to contact the appropriate administrator to approve the arrangement.

2. All drivers have completed the requirements of a C.O.R.I. check.

3. A driver’s record check has been conducted through the Department of Motor Vehicles and has been determined to be satisfactory by the Superintendent of Schools.

4. The owner of the vehicle being used in transporting students has filed evidence with the Superintendent of personal liability insurance coverage on the vehicle in the amounts of $100,000 - $300,000 or more.

5. Effort should be made to contact the parent or guardian in advance for permission to transport the child in this manner.
