Policy 6620 District Transportation: Other Types and Purposes

Download Policy 6620 District Transportation: Other Types and Purposes

The following uses of district transportation are a privilege, not a right, and, except where bound by the terms of a lease, the district may revoke that privilege through official board action at a regularly scheduled and legally advertised meeting. The superintendent will have the authority to modify transportation services for school and extracurricular activities when the available fuel supply for regular transportation services appears to fall below the required level.

The superintendent or designee working with the district transportation department may deny transportation to any student who violates the district’s written rules and regulations.

School Activities

Transportation may be provided by the district for activity trips, which have been officially designated by the board as school activities. Activities may include, but not be limited to:

Educational field trips growing out of regular classroom activity which are planned by the teacher, approved by the principal and supervised by school staff, provided that any overnight trip receives prior approval of the superintendent and out of state travel receives prior approval from the board in accordance with the Student Travel Policy 4006; and
Athletics, debate, drama or music programs or other board-approved co-curricular programs.

Extracurricular Activities

The superintendent may authorize the use of district transportation vehicles transporting nonparticipating students to extracurricular activities. Such vehicles may be so used when the users pay an amount sufficient to reimburse the district for the complete cost of such use.

District drivers will be used on all such trips. Participants will be supervised by staff.

Leasing of Buses

The board may enter into a written lease agreement with any of the following:

For profit charter bus companies;
A nonprofit organization transporting children with disabilities to and from the site of activities or programs deemed beneficial to such persons by such organizations, provided that commercial bus service is not reasonably available for such purpose;
A governmental agency transporting personnel, supplies and/or evacuees in the event of a major forest fire, flood or other natural disaster.

Cooperative Programs

The board may enter into cooperative transportation agreements with other districts when it is economically advantageous to the cooperating districts and when it does not impair the quality of educational programs available to students
