Driving Privileges

In North Carolina, students under 18 can lose their driver’s license if they:

• Drop  out of school;
• Fail to make adequate progress (passing at least 3 classes each semester);
• Commit certain offenses resulting in suspension.

Dropout Prevention/Driver’s License Legislation

North Carolina House Bill 769 became effective December 1, 1997, and reflects a coordinated statewide effort to motivate and encourage students to complete high school. This legislation requires that a student’s driving permit or license be revoked if a student is unable to maintain adequate progress or drops out of school. Adequate progress is defined as passing 75% (3 out of 4) of all courses and is determined by first-semester grades and second-semester grades for schools on block scheduling.

Lose Control, Lose Your License Legislation

North Carolina Senate Bill 57, which became effective July 1, 2000, requires that a student's driving permit or license be revoked for one year (365 days) if a student is given a suspension for more than 10 consecutive days or an assignment to an alternative educational setting for more than 10 consecutive days for one of the following reasons:

• The possession or sale of an alcoholic beverage or an illegal controlled substance on school property;
• The possession or use on school property of a weapon or firearm that resulted in disciplinary action under
• G.S. 115C-391 (d1) or that could have resulted in that disciplinary action if the conduct had occurred in a public school; or
• The physical assault on a teacher or other school personnel on school property.

Copies of your driver's license, license plate, and insurance information must be uploaded before students are distributed a parking pass.  No parking space assignment or parking pass can be issued until all information with dates indicating the information is valid has been turned into the office and submitted.

General Guidelines:

• A parking tag (permit) is $50.00 regardless of when it is purchased. It is nonrefundable. Online payment through the school webpage is the only payment option.  A lost tag may be replaced one time for $20. The hang tag must be placed on the rearview mirror of the front windshield. No other location will be permitted.
• Payment for parking does not guarantee a parking space; meeting all specified requirements is necessary for securing a spot.
• Seniors in the Top 100 of the class are given assigned spots. Juniors and seniors are expected to park in the main student lot on a first-come, first-served basis. Sophomores are permitted to park in the C lot with limited passes available. Students involved in extracurricular activities or employment are not guaranteed parking spaces.
• Students must maintain a minimum weighted GPA of 2.0 at the end of each semester to retain parking privileges. Off-campus students are held to the same GPA standard. Falling below a 2.0 GPA could result in the loss of parking privileges until the GPA returns to the required level.
• Students accumulating more than six unexcused absences and five parental excused absences combined in a class during a semester risk losing their parking privileges, regardless of the semester's timeline. Attendance policies mandate a minimum class attendance time. Failure to attend classes jeopardizes parking privileges.
• Students parking on campus may lose their parking privileges after the second In-School Suspension or Out-of-School Suspension. Upon the first suspension, a bus will be provided for transportation. However, a second suspension will lead to the forfeiture of parking privileges. Students are expected to demonstrate good judgment while driving on campus and during school-related activities.

Parking Violations:

• Parking in an unassigned or unauthorized space (such as visitor, staff, handicapped, in the top 100 spaces, or double parking in the loop)A school boot will be placed on the vehicle, requiring an $85 fee for removal. Any attempt to remove or damage the boot may incur additional charges. Continued violations may lead to towing at the owner's expense.

  Second violation: One-week loss of parking privilege
  Third violation: Loss of parking privilege for the rest of the year
• Spinning tires on campusFirst violation: One-week loss of parking privilege
  Second violation: Loss of parking privilege for the rest of the year
  Doing donuts in the parking lot results in an instant suspension of parking privileges and a 3-day school suspension.
• Improper parking, driving on grass or over curbsFirst violation: Three-day loss of parking privilege
  Second violation: One-week loss of parking privilege
  Third violation: Loss of parking privilege for the rest of the year

• Temporarily parking an unregistered vehicle during school hours (can be avoided by registering the vehicle at the front desk)

RUNNING in the parking lot is prohibited--Warning (first offense); 3-day Loss of Parking Privilege (second offense); Students will be charged with Insubordination, a major offense per the student handbook, and can result in suspension.

Students may NOT go to their cars during lunch or CAT Time without first passing through and gaining permission from the office. Only students going to CATS, Mitchell, or receiving early release should be in the parking lot. Students in the parking lot while class is in session without written permission will be charged for skipping.

No student is allowed early release for employment unless it is school-related. Leaving early without permission is considered skipping.

PARKING ON CAMPUS DURING A PARKING SUSPENSION WILL RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF PRIVILEGE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR AND A CHARGE FOR INSUBORDINATION, A MAJOR OFFENSE PER THE STUDENT HANDBOOK, THAT COULD RESULT IN FURTHER SUSPENSION.
