Public Schools of Petoskey Board Policy 4350

VOLUNTEER TRANSPORTATION IN PRIVATE VEHICLES

Volunteer’s that seek permission to provide student transportation for Public Schools of Petoskey sponsored activities, or program sites have to verify that a Michigan Driver’s License is valid and has not been suspended, revoked, or restricted in any way by any state or federal agency or by any state or law enforcement officer or agency.

Any damages resulting from personal injuries sustained by adults or children due to the volunteer’s ownership, operation, or maintenance of the vehicle used must be recovered through the driver’s personal insurance or the insurance coverage of the passenger.

The Public Schools of Petoskey provides liability coverage for its employees, but no insurance coverage or liability for the ownership, maintenance, operational expense or any injury or damages to persons, students, or the property of others that may occur from the use of a non-school vehicle.

Furthermore, I affirm and verify that:

  • The vehicle to be used is equipped with seatbelts that are operable and in good repair. Seatbelts shallbe used at all times when the vehicle is in operation.
  • The vehicle shall be generally in good condition, particularly as it pertains to safety equipment such asbrakes, horn, tires, lights, etc.
  • Vehicle and driver shall be insured and proof of insurance, along with a valid Michigan Driver’s

License, shall be presented prior to permission being given to transport students.

  • The Board of Education shall be held harmless from any claims, suits, liabilities, causes of action or responsibility for any type of accidents, injuries or death connected with transport, it being

specifically understood that the volunteer involved assume total and complete responsibility for all

liabilities connected to a private vehicle.
