our district has paperwork we fill out for each vehicle we anticipate using to transport kids during the year.

basically they just want to guarantee we have sufficient liability insurance to cover any accidents.

it's not too big a deal, as long as we get the paperwork in. we also have to have all volunteers who would be supervising any of the kids go through background checks and a short online safety training. it's the same for any school activities.

we are fortunate that our district's bus contractor has a "sports bus" (capacity 14) they let school groups use for free (we pay gas costs, only) as long as the driver is certified to drive. it has helped us attend a lot of events we couldn't have afforded to hire a bus for.
