PARENT DRIVER SIGN-UP
We may need some parent drivers to/from some of the away meets, and definitely need parent drivers from the Raider Invitational on Friday, Sept 23 in Oxnard.
This is because the bus companies in Santa Barbara that can drive students to cross country meets are in short supply, mostly because of the lack of drivers.
Coaches will drive vans to supplement the bus seats. But we may need a few additional parent drivers to get runners to/from those meets in order for all who want to
run to be able to get there.
Raider Invitational in Oxnard on Friday, September 23: we’ll need many parent drivers. The bus we have is only taking us to the meet. It won’t take us back to DP. That bus has to drive school routes in Santa Barbara in the afternoon after dropping us off, and would not be able to get back to Oxnard until long after the meet ends. The team would be sitting for hours after the last race waiting for that bus. We need enough parent drivers (10-15) to get everyone home from this meet.
So in the sign-up table below, the ‘to’ and ‘from’ for Raider Invite are in separate columns.
School district driver authorization form: If you can drive runners to/from these meets, it is easiest if you are authorized to drive for the school/team by completing the school district driver authorization form and turning it in to Coach Micks with attachments (1-driver’s license, 2-auto registration, 3-proof of minimum liability insurance coverage $100K/$300K). He will get it to Assistant Principal reviewing on campus who will forward to SB School District for approval. In other words, it has to be turned in a week or more in advance of the meets you’re driving for. The driver form can be accessed online HERE. You can fill it out online and print it to bring to Coach Micks at practice, or to the school's main office to put in the 'Cross Country' mail slot. And the driver authorization is good only for the current school year (August-May). If you did it in a prior year, sorry, but it needs to done again.
Drivers who have not been authorized by the school district
You can drive other runners (besides your own) home from meets, if the other runner’s parent text or email their permission to a coach. For example, if runner ‘B’ (not your child) wants to ride with you back to DP, B’s parent has to send text or email to a coach giving permission for this. (If your driver authorization form has been approved, coaches don’t need a text/email from B’s parents.). Going to meets, parents who are NOT authorized drivers can drive only their own child, no one else's.
If you can drive runners to/from some of the meets, please sign up in the table HERE.
and indicate the total of numbers of runners (including your own) that you can transport.
