Transportation

Riding the bus is a privilege, not a right. Students are expected to follow the same behavioral standards while riding school as are expected on school property or at school events. All school rules are in effect while a student is riding the bus or at the bus stop. Consequences for school bus/bus stop misconduct will be imposed by the assigned dean. In addition, all school bus/bus stop misconduct will be reported to the District Transportation Safety Director. Serious misconduct will be reported to the Department of Public Safety and may be reported to local law enforcement.

BUS AND BUS STOP RULES:

If these rules are broken, the school district’s discipline procedures are to follow.

Consequences are progressive and may include suspension of the bus privileges.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
FLACS students are NOT to congregate before or after school in the area across from the high school entrance on Highway 97 or on Highway 61. It is requested that students who are brought to school in the morning or picked up in the evening use the parking area to the east of the building. Once students are on school property, they are to enter the building. Leaving school property after arrival can be done only with a Leave School Pass. Students are also not to congregate in the parking lot area. It is for the concern of student safety that we require all community school students to observe the regulations listed above.


STUDENT DRIVING
The Forest Lake Area Community Schoold does not require parking permits. However, all students are to abide by the following rules. 


PARKING/DRIVING REGULATIONS:

DISCLAIMER:
School District 831 is not responsible for vandalism, theft, or injury of items in the school parking lots. Drivers should lock vehicles when leaving them parked in the school lot. Valuables should not be left in cars.

Any vehicle on campus is subject to search by school personnel in instances where the school official determines there is reasonable suspicion that a school regulation, a city law or a state law has been violated. This includes but is not limited to illegal drugs, alcohol, stolen property, weapons or other contraband that might be present in the vehicle.

PARKING RESTRICTIONS:
At no time are students allowed to park in the front staff or visitor lot. EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED WHEN ENTERING THE STAFF LOT THROUGH THE BUSY TRAFFIC AREAS NEAR THE BUILDING.

LOSS OF PARKING PRIVILEGES:
Parking privileges can be revoked either temporarily or permanently for violation of provisions of this application or the “Secondary Student Code of Conduct” even if such violation is not related to the operation or parking of a motor vehicle. Examples of these violations are truancies, tardiness, or being in the lot without permission. Students improperly or illegally parked may have their vehicles locked with a wheel lock or towed at the owner’s expense. A $20 fine must be paid before the wheel lock will be removed. Continued violations could result in revocation of the parking permit without reimbursement until the end of the semester, and/or result in the loss of opportunity to purchase permits in the future.

VIOLATION CONSEQUENCES:
Violation consequences will be progressive. Each violation will result in additional penalties ranging in severity, from warnings to temporary loss of permits, to application of wheel locks and/or towing at the owner’s expense, to permanent revocation of permit without refund.
