Step 1. The DMV Review Request, signed approval to run your driver's license in our raptor
system, the signed letter of acceptance of Safe Driving Practices, a
photo copy of your California driver's License, a current copy of your vehicle
registration, and a photo copy of your vehicle insurance Declaration page from your
policy as explained in Step 2 shall be turned in to The Transportation Department,
Building H, 27380 Hwy 18, Lake Arrowhead, CA 92325.

Step 2. Per board policy AR 6153. If you are driving your personal vehicle to transport students, attach a copy of your current vehicle insurance policy that MUST MEET the minimum coverage requirements below:

• Public Liability: Bodily Injury $100,000/$300,000 Per accident
• Property Damage: $50,000 per accident
• Medical Payment 5,000

1. In the event of an accident, the first liability would be incurred by you and
   your own insurance company. Following this, the school district's insurance
   would satisfy a judgment in excess of that provided by your auto insurance
   company.
2. The vehicle must be designed for and carry not more than 9 seated
   passengers (including the driver). The number of passengers to be
   transported in any one vehicle shall not be more than the legally permissible

   seat belt and driver is responsible to make sure all occupants are securely
   fastened with seat belts always.
3. No financial charge/cost will be made to the district for student
   transportation by private vehicle.

Step 3. Following the clearance of the above items, the Governing Board approval is required prior to transporting students as an Approved Driver. You will be notified once the process has been completed and you are approved. Approved Drivers will be allowed to transport students as a driver for school field trips, school extra-curricular activities, and school athletic events.

Whether you are an employee of RIMUSD, an athletics coach or a volunteer, you accept the responsibility of driving your own personal vehicle.

While driving a district vehicle or a personal vehicle and transporting students, all drivers agree to the following:

1. Adhere to all traffic laws.
2. Always abide by and never exceed the posted speed limit.
3. No unsafe passing of other vehicles, for example; passing on curves, crossing double yellow line, near hill were vision is blocked or where exceeding the speed limit would occur during the pass.

5. Transport extra equipment and luggage safely.
6. No use of cell phones or electronic devices, including a hands free device, while transporting students.

8. I understand the public will and does notify the school district when unsafe driving practices are observed. You, your vehicle, and the students you transport are representing our school district. Please make sure your students are conducting themselves appropriately while in the vehicle. You are responsible for safe driving practices.
9. If using my personal vehicle, I understand I must complete a Field Trip Personal Checklist each time I transport students to an activity.
10. I give voluntary approval for the Rim of The World Unified School District to request DMV review of my driver's license and status and driving record. I also agree that once approved to be an approved volunteer driver, DMV will continue to send reports on my driving record to Rim of The World Unified School District.
11. I understand that if my record shows violations, I will not be approved as a driver of students. I understand I will not remain an approved driver if there are subsequent DMV violations, until a clear DMV report is received by the school district. Drivers who receive a traffic citation for a moving violation, while transporting students in their personal vehicle, will immediately be removed as an approved driver.
12. On an annual basis, I will provide proof of insurance to the District, or as requested by the District to verify that I continue to comply with the personal vehicle volunteer driving requirements.

If a complaint is received, an investigation will be conducted by the school district and other agencies. At the conclusion of the investigation, the driver will either receive re-training or be removed as an approved driver. If re-training is determined to be appropriate, the driver must complete the required training before being allowed to resume driving. If a second complaint is received, the driver will immediately be removed as an approved driver. If removed as an approved driver, reinstatement cannot be requested for at least one calendar year from the date of removal as an approved driver.

I have read and agree to follow the requirements of Rim of The World Unified School District's Letter of Acceptance of Safe Driving Practices.
