Student Transportation for School Sponsored Activities

Code No.: 702.5
STUDENT TRANSPORTATION FOR SCHOOL SPONSORED ACTIVITIES
Policy: The board in its discretion may provide school district transportation for extracurricular activities
including, but not limited to, transporting student participants and other students to and from
extracurricular events.
Students participating or attending extracurricular events, other than those held at the school district
facilities, may be transported to the extracurricular event by school district transportation vehicles or by
another means approved by the superintendent.
Students, who are provided transportation in school district transportation vehicles for extracurricular
events, will ride both to and from the event in the school vehicle unless arrangements have been made
with the building principal or designee prior to the event. A student’s parent may personally appear and
request to transport the student home from a school-sponsored event in which the student traveled to the
event on a school district transportation vehicle.
It is the responsibility of the superintendent to make a recommendation to the board as to whether the
school district will provide the transportation authorized in this policy. In making the recommendation
to the board, the superintendent will consider the financial condition of the school district, the number of
students who would qualify for such transportation, and other factors the board or superintendent deem
relevant.
With advance permission from administration and coaches, parents may transport students to or
from events due to extenuating circumstances or conflicts between multiple school sponsored
activities.
