The principal has the responsibility and the authority to regulate traffic and parking on the school campus in such a manner as to promote the safety of all concerned. In so doing, it is important that the principal work in cooperation with all officers of the law who are in any way concerned with traffic regulations in the school zone.

The Board provides transportation for all eligible students. However, on high school campuses with an
existing parking area in addition to that needed for driver education ranges and employees' and visitors'
parking, the principal may designate the surplus area for student parking.

Student parking, if allowed, and available, shall be subject to published local school regulations
established by the principal and approved by the Director of Schools or designee. Eligibility for parking
privileges shall be determined and shall be dependent upon the student's compliance with school
regulations.

A student parking fee may be charged for the purpose of providing personnel and material deemed
necessary by the principal for the enforcement of traffic and parking violations. The amount of the fee
shall be determined by equitably prorating the total costs among the students using the privilege. The fee shall be subject to approval by the Director of Schools or designee upon written justification by the
principal.
