General Information about our Driver
Education Program
- No school credit is given. We can issue a
duplicate certificate of completion to students and/or their parents or
guardians if needed for insurance purposes.
- The program will meet the minimum
requirements of the Idaho State Department of Education: fully
qualified instructors; state approved textbooks; safety equipped
automobiles including dual brakes; and INSURANCE COVERAGE while the
students are in the program.
- All rules and regulations of The Boise
School District will be enforced. These regulations include, but are
not limited to, improper language, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, defacing
property, and the NO TOLERANCE policy adopted by the School Board,
regarding weapons, etc.
- In the State of Idaho and City of Boise
the student driver is responsible for any citation incurred during the
course. Proven negligence on the part of the instructor would be an
exception.
- Students are expected to be in attendance
and on time EVERY DAY classes are scheduled. There is a minimum of 30
hours of classroom, 6 hours of driving and 11hours of observation to be
completed to meet requirements of the State and the District to pass
the course. A makeup fee of $30.00 per hour will be charged
for any class missed due to a tardy or absences.
- THE FEE FOR THE DRIVER’S LICENSE IS NOT
INCLUDED IN THE OTHER FEES ALREADY PAID. If students have successfully
completed the course they will receive their permit to continue on with
the graduated license requirements.
- IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO DRIVE ANY
PRIVATE MOTOR VEHICLE (CYCLES OR CARS) ON PUBLIC STREETS OR ROADS
DURING THE DRIVER EDUCATION COURSE. We are required by law to
immediately drop from the course and fail any student driving without a
valid Idaho Driver’s License.
A Special Note to Parents:
Please keep in mind when your son/daughter
has successfully completed this course, he/she will have received the
minimum number of hours required by the Idaho State Department of
Education. During the Driver Education program many driving skills will
have been practiced several times. We want to emphasize that
this is only the beginning of the process of learning to drive.
As stated in the Graduated Driver Licensing information you will be
required to drive with your student for a period of six months and 50
hours (10 night time) before they will receive a driver's license. Your
cooperation will ensure a better driver.
