Driver’s Education Requirements

State law requires that a student pass eight semester courses in the year prior to taking drivers education.  This applies to public schools, summer school, and private driving schools.  Students who do not pass eight semester classes as freshmen, or who did not pass freshmen physical education/health will not be eligible to take drivers education until they have passed eight classes in two consecutive semesters and completed freshmen physical education/health.   Students in this situation will have their drivers education deferred until they have met the eight-course rule.  This would normally be the following summer or school year.
