Drivers
education in Durham Public Schools is a state-funded program to help students
learn to drive safely and with confidence. Completion of the course also allows
a student to earn a level two provisional license according to the North
Carolina graduated license law.
There are some changes to the DPS driver education program
for this upcoming school year! Each of
our high schools will use the “lottery” for students to be in a classroom driver education session.
The cost of the class will be $45. Due to the fact there have been a large
number of returned checks – you may pay the $45 by “money order” that is made out to “Durham Public Schools” or $45 in cash – no
checks will be accepted. The $45 is paid on the first day of class!
