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.
