Board highlights unique driver education program, credited with lowering student insurance costs
Summary
District staff praised the driver education class and its certified instructor, noting Glendale is the only district in the county offering a qualified driver's-ed instructor; students who pass the course can avoid a DMV test and lower insurance costs.
Trustees recognized a group of students who completed the district’s driver education course and praised the instructor for maintaining certification. A staff member said Glendale is “the only district in Douglas County and I think in Southern Oregon that has a qualified driver's ed instructor,” and credited the program with graduating roughly 15–20 students who benefited from discounted DMV testing and lower insurance rates.
Staff noted the program fills a local gap, reduces costs for families and gives students practical safety training. Trustees thanked the instructor, and students attending the meeting were recognized for completing the course. The board discussed showing the driving simulator at the school to support instruction but did not take formal action.
