DE 3541.1 (a) School Driver Registration Form and E 3541.1 (b) Private Vehicle Transport Safety Check

Background Information:

On November 1, 2021 the committee reviewed BP 3541.1 School-Related Trips and AR 6153 School-Sponsored Trips. After further review, Administration is recommending amending BP 3541.1 and AR 6153 to reflect current government regulation which allows educational institutions to use 15 passenger vans that were manufactured after September 1, 2011 which now all meet the safety standards required by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Motor Vehicle Safety, Title 49, United States Code, Chapter 301 and Related Uncodified Provisions.

The BP and AR are presented again today for review by the committee with the recommended changes and will be moved to Board Policy Review this afternoon if those changes are approved.  Exhibits, E3541.1 (a) School Driver Registration Form and E3541.1 (b) Private Vehicle Transport Safety Check have also been edited to reflect the changes in BP 3541.1 and AR 6153.

To expedite the approval of the policies, AR 6153 School-Sponsored Trips is on tonight's agenda for a first reading and action and BP 3541.1 School-Related Trips is up for first reading on tonight's agenda.

Per BB 9313 Exhibit pages are intended to be easily updated. They are provided as information items to Board members but are not subject to approval.
