School Driving and Permit Information

Requirements

You can request the documents for a school permit by visiting the High School Office (1 Comet Drive).  A student is generally eligible for a school permit once the following are met. The student:

• is at least 14 1/2 years old.
• has completed an Iowa-approved driver education course.
• holds a valid instruction permit and maintains a clean driving record for at least six consecutive months immediately before applying for your minor school license.
• lives at least one mile away from the campus they attend or the facility where a school-organized practice is located. 

Procedure

1. Review the "What Can I Do" and "What Can't I Do" section with your child.  Contact the High School office with any additional questions, clarification, or if you have any unique circumstances you wish to discuss in regards to a school permit.

2. Request an "Affidavit for a Minor School License" by visiting the High School office. Make sure to bring your student permit /license. The High School Administrative Support Staff in the office will make a copy of the license. We will contact you when the forms are signed by the principal. 

3.  Once you have the signed Affidavit, the parent should take this form, the student's instructional permit, and proof of completion of Drivers Education to the Floyd County Treasurers Office.
