All parking permits shall be issued on a fair and impartial basis, with first priority being given to physically disabled persons. Individual school parking policies shall be made known annually to all students, faculty, and staff members.
Parking fees may be established by the Superintendent or designee. All parking fees collected at the school will be forwarded to the finance department to be budgeted and appropriated for school purposes.
The school system reserves the right to suspend or terminate an individual's parking privileges for failure to comply with this policy or its regulations and procedures.
The Board shall not be liable or responsible for damage to cars and other vehicles parked on school system property.
Failure to comply with this policy or its regulations and procedures can result in towing of the car or vehicle. The owner or user of the car or vehicle shall bear all costs and expenses related to the towing and storage of the car or vehicle.
