Students > Student Handbook > School Procedures > Driving / Parking

The school laws of Pennsylvania give the school the right to regulate the use of the motor vehicles during school hours. Since the school district provides transportation for all students, student driving is considered a privilege extended to those deemed responsible.

All students wishing to drive to school shall submit an application to the Student Services Office in the manner prescribed by the assistant principal. Because of the limited number of parking spaces, not all students who submit an application will be given parking privileges. A point system will be used to determine parking assignments.

Students receiving parking privileges must register every vehicle they drive to school. Students must furnish a valid driver's license and current vehicle registration(s) to receive a parking decal for the vehicle(s). The charge for each decal is $25.00. Decals must be affixed to the inside, bottom right hand corner of the windshield of the registered vehicle(s). Parking decals are non-transferable. Giving or transferring a parking decal to another student will result in the denial of parking privileges and a fine of $25. Cars with laminated, taped-on or improperly affixed stickers are subject to being ticketed. Such an offense may lead to the revocation of parking privileges. To purchase a sticker for a new vehicle or new windshield, the student must hand in the old sticker. If the old sticker was destroyed in an accident, the student must supply proof of the damage. Only a police report or a report from the repair garage will be accepted. Temporary stickers will be issued upon request. The cost of each temporary permit will be $2.00.

Students driving to school must follow all regulations of the school and Motor Vehicle Code of Pennsylvania. Failure to do so will result in the loss of parking privileges. Depending upon the nature of the violation, there may be other disciplinary consequences.

Students driving to school are not permitted to use their car (whether parked on school property or not) during the school day without expressed permission from the office and their parents. Students are not permitted to drive other student(s) to North Montco Technical Career Center without first procuring a passenger pass from NMTCC.

Students are not permitted to go to any of the student parking lots during the school day, except when permission to do so has been obtained from the Student Services Office.

Cars parked on school property illegally or without authorization, are subject to fine and/or will be booted. The boot will be removed at the driver's expense. The fine or fee for removal is $15.00. Students who damage or attempt to remove a boot will lose parking privileges, be required to make restitution, and be suspended from school.

The fee structure for parking violations is as follows:

• 1st offense $10.00
• 2nd offense $15.00
• 3rd offense $20.00
• 4th offense - Privileges may be revoked
• Boot Removal $15.00

Unpaid parking tickets will be held as obligations.

Students driving to school should also be aware that school attendance laws of Pennsylvania do not consider impassable roads or a disabled vehicle as a valid excuse for being absent or late. In addition, please note that parking is a privilege subject to revocation for violation of school policies and procedures.
