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 prior to the event. A student's parent, or a designated adult approved by the parent in writing, 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. The parent, or
designated adult, must sign a form so the sponsor is aware the student will ride home with them and not on school transportation.
It is the responsibility of the superintendent to make a recommendation to the board as needed, or as requested, 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.
