   If a student's parking permit is suspended or revoked, no fees will be refunded. Failure to comply with these administrative guidelines may result in loss of privileges and/or disciplinary actions for the student.
   
   In the event a vehicle is found to be parked or used improperly, the District may take one or more of the following actions:
    
   1. Prohibit the person from driving on District property.
   2. Contact the police to have the vehicle towed from the premises at the operator's expense.

When transportation is available through the District, participating students shall not drive to school-sponsored activities unless written permission is granted by their parents and approved by the principal.

No other students are allowed to be driven to a school-sponsored activity by the approved student driver without a note from parents granting permission and approval by the principal.
