This will include, but not be limited to, students with disabilities. District vehicle drivers are required to attend each safety drill. Employees are responsible for instructing the proper techniques to be followed during an emergency, as well as safe riding practices.
All District personnel and designees must wear seat belts while operating District and private vehicles for District functions. All District personnel must use the tire protective cage when inflating or deflating a tire used on District buses and tractors.
