Transportation of students to events question

[JamesCH95]

I would suggest that you try to find someone within the school system to help you out.

We encountered the same issue. As it turns out that there was a lot of misunderstanding, ignorance, paranoia and downright laziness involved. We were told, in no uncertain terms, that students could never be transported by mentors. Well... after pushing a bit harder on the subject (and getting the athletic director on our side) it turns out that mentors can drive students if they can prove their car is registered, insured, and their license is up-to-date. I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true for your school.

In general terms we play within the rules. We also have a mentor who is really good at dealing with red tape (seriously, he is worth his weight in gold) and can almost always work through, or around, the bureaucratic roadblocks that plague most school systems. It takes time, and lots of face-to-face meetings, but many things can be done.
