COCURRICULAR ACTIVITIES/TRANSPORTATION FEE

 

A.      Purpose and Scope

To provide regulations and procedures for the provision of requiring transportation fees for students participating in cocurricular activities

B.     General

1.      The payment of the fee does not, in any way, guarantee participation in athletic contests, but provides transportation to and from activities which are away from school.

2.      Refunds will be granted only for students who are cut or dropped from the activity by the teacher or coach.

3.      Since the scheduling of transportation and budgeting of funds occurs in advance of the activity, students who are dropped from an activity because of disciplinary action, academic ineligibility, or they have quit, will not be eligible for a refund.

4.      If the fee represents a financial hardship for the family, the student must submit a fee waiver form for approval.

5.      Individuals or groups have the option not to participate in the transportation fee and would be responsible for their own transportation, including costs and insurance. Students who do not pay the fee and have not submitted a fee waiver form shall not be allowed to ride the activity bus.

C.     Forms Used and Additional References

1.      Cocurricular Transportation Fee Exemption Application

2.      Transportation Consent Forms

3.      Fee Receipt Form

4.      Cocurricular Transportation Liability Insurance Statement
