Administrative Procedure: 553

USE OF PRIVATE VEHICLES

Background
The District strongly favours the practice of using buses to transport students. However, the District recognizes that there will be times when it is impractical or inefficient to use school buses. In such cases, it is permissible to use private vehicles.

Procedures
1. All vehicles operated by District employees and volunteers for the transportation of students must meet the safety criteria and conform to the regulations established by Provincial Regulatory Agencies.
2. Principals have the over-all responsibility of ensuring that these criteria and regulations are reviewed annually with employees and volunteers.
