It is the policy of the South Tama County Community School District to offer a course in Driver Education. A Driver Education fee will be charged to students for the course, but the fee will not exceed the actual cost to provide the program. The Board of Education will designate the amount of the fee and review the amount on a regular basis.
Students will be given priority to enroll in Driver Education sessions based upon age within grade level. Grade level status will be determined at the beginning of the most recent fall or winter (January) terms. A student with priority may be bypassed if they fail to sign up for, or are not readily available to accept, an opening in a particular session.
Students recently completing grade eight are the lowest eligible grade level and may be registered by age priority within grade for summer registration.
