TRANSPORTATION POLICY

 Participants are responsible for getting to and from practices, as well as, arriving on time for bus departures.

Participants are expected to ride on school provided transportation to and from all contests. It is the philosophy of the Activity Department that this process be part of the entire learning experience. The North Harrison Board of Education, administration, faculty and staff take responsibility both legally and morally for the safe transportation of students to and from school sponsored activities. Administrative discretion can be used in emergency situations.

  1. All students will travel to and from all activities on school provided transportation under direct supervision of a North Harrison School District employee.
  2. Without permission of proper authority (i.e., administration, AD, coach, sponsor) any student who does not travel to an activity on school provided transportation would be considered ineligible to participate in that specific activity or activities.
  3. Parents/Guardian(s) who need to transport their student to an activity must have permission from a proper authority in a reasonable amount of time prior to the scheduled departure time from school for the specific activity or activities. Only with permission from proper authority will a student be allowed to ride to the activity site with someone other than the parent and maintain eligibility for the activity or activities. Parents will be asked to sign in their student upon arrival at the activity site.
  4. Parents/Guardian(s) in attendance who wish to take their own student(s) home must sign the student(s) out on a form provided by the activity sponsor. Students properly signed out by parents/guardians are no longer the responsibility of North Harrison schools or their employees.
  5. Parents/Guardians(s) not in attendance may make special arrangements for a responsible adult to transport their child home from an activity if parents make personal contact BOTH by written and telephone notification to the proper authority PRIOR TO DEPARTURE TO THE ACTIVITY. This designated adult is required to sign out the student after completion of the activity. Students properly signed out are no longer the responsibility of North Harrison schools or their employees
  6. Any student found to be in violation of this provision would be considered ineligible for the next activity they would normally attend. Continued violations of any provision set forth here will result in an administrative review and could subsequently result in prolonged suspension from all activities.
