Board of education and school policies exist regarding the transportation of team
members to and from away meets.
We realize that on occasion, a situation may arise in which, with valid reason, a
team member needs to come late to a meet or needs to leave early. In such
situations, the parent or guardian of the team member must receive approval in
advance from the athletic director. The coaches do not have the authority to grant
approval.
In order to gain such approval, a parent or guardian must complete an online form,

The primary motivation for the existence of this process is for insurance and liability
purposes. Please be advised that if you are transporting a team member to or
from an away meet venue, you are releasing the coaching staff, the athletic
department, the high school administration, the school district, and the board of
education from any and all liability.
We thank you in advance and appreciate your understanding and cooperation in
this matter.
