Safe Driver Plan II - White Fleet Vehicles

The Safe Driver II Plan is no longer used for Employees transporting students. Those individuals should apply for the Authority to Transport Students above. The School Board believes having a plan that assures we do not hire or allow any person to operate a School Board owned, or rented vehicle for School Board business, which does not have an acceptable driving record, can reduce the potential for injuries and lawsuits. Those vehicles identified as School Board owned or rented is intended to include all vehicles that require registration with the Florida Department of Transportation, Division of Motor Vehicle Records. At the request of their Supervisor, District Employees required to operate a white fleet vehicle may apply for membership into the District Safe Driver II Plan.
