Driver Education
The purpose of driver education is to improve the quality of life in our community,
not only for students but all citizens, by improving the
quality of driver performance on our streets and highways. The goal of driver
education is to produce skilled, knowledgeable, responsible
drivers through a course covering the following: awareness of problems that
exist in traffic safety, checks and procedures important in
operating a vehicle safely, effective driving decisions and visual habits, knowledge
of the laws of man and nature which affect driving, basic
vehicle maneuvers, basic vehicle maintenance, financial and legal aspects of
operating an automobile, and physical and mental
preparedness while driving a motor vehicle, especially in relation to fatigue,
drugs, alcohol and illness.
Students may take driver education only one semester during their regular high
school careers. If students fail the course during the
regular school year they may take driver education during the summer program.
Ninth grade students who will turn sixteen on or before
September 30 may take summer driver education at the high school in their attendance
areas.
