The following procedures shall be in effect:
- The superintendent shall designate a staff member in charge of the
district's traffic safety education program.
- For instructional purposes, the traffic safety education instructor
shall use the district's curriculum guide for traffic safety education.
- Each student enrolled in a traffic safety program shall meet the objectives
and competencies listed in the district curriculum guide as a condition
of successful completion of the program.
- Traffic safety education courses provided by the district shall be
conducted during daylight hours (may be extended to no later than 5:00 p.m.
during winter months) except that night driving experiences may be provided.
- Recognizing that the district can serve a limited number of students
each year, certain enrollment criteria are established. Students enrolled
in private schools and students who have received a certificate of educational
competence (GED) shall have equal access to enroll as part-time students.
Enrollment criteria in descending order of priority are (a.) grade level
in school (12th grade--highest), (b.) date and time of registration.
- Students must be at least 15 1/2 years of age by the first day of
class. Students enrolled in traffic safety during the regular school year
must reside in the district or be students who have been released by another
district to attend school in this district.
- Each student will be required to pay the established fee at the time
of enrollment or present evidence that he/she is eligible to have the fee
waived or reduced. To be eligible for a refund of the paid fee, students
must drop from the program and request a refund within 5 days following
the program starting date.
- Students who have attended more than 50 percent of the program's scheduled
classes and have completed at least 90 percent of the program's objectives,
but have not completed all program objectives, shall receive an "incomplete"
and shall be provided the opportunity to achieve successfully all objectives
during the current school year and ensuing summer. Students failing to
do so will receive a failing grade.
- Students who receive a failing grade or have dropped from a program
shall pay an additional fee when re-entering the program.
- Students transferring from the district prior to attending 50 percent
of the program's scheduled classes shall be reimbursed the collected fee.
- Students entering the program from another district shall pay the
regularly assessed fee if the transferring district indicates the student
had attended less than 50 percent of the program's scheduled classes in
that district.
