Board clarifies private‑vehicle transportation applies to school day; athletics covered separately
Summary
Directors asked legal counsel to tie EEAE to related policies and distinguished school‑day private‑vehicle transport from athletic/extracurricular rules; superintendent to consult PACE for guidance on student‑to‑student transport.
The board reviewed EEAE (Student Transportation in Private Vehicle) and related policies (EEBB, JHFD) and discussed what constitutes "school business." Leslie Fisher of OSBA connected EEAE to those policies and emphasized the need to define scope so supervisors know when a private vehicle may be used.
Directors and administrators agreed the policy as written applies to the school day (bell‑to‑bell) and not to sporting events. "This is for the school day. Not re: sporting events," a staff member stated. Leslie Fisher added that "the athletic piece is handle in your athletic handbook and admin. 48 hours advanced notice." Superintendent Trip Goodall said he will contact PACE for recommendations on student‑to‑student transportation. The board asked staff to draft clarified language tying the policy to existing athletic procedures where appropriate.
