Requirements: .5 credits
To receive a license, students must complete the following requirements for driver education: No less than 27 hours of classroom instruction, 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction, 6 hours of observation time; and 34 hours with a parent or guardian. Of the 34 hours driven with a parent or guardian, 10 hours must be driven at night.
Driving Practice
Granite District provides 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training as follows:
- Driving Range – 3 hours (Street Smarts online simulator may substitute for 1 hour of range driving).
- On the Road Driving – 3 hours
Driving range training may occur during school hours, with instruction provided by certified retirees and hourly employees. Some on-the-road driving will take place during school, but most will be after school.
The majority of driving will be scheduled outside school hours. The department chairperson at each school will arrange driving times for students.
Tests
Each student must pass the driver education class with a score of 80% or better on the following tests:
- State written test
- State driving test
Students are encouraged to take driver education during their sophomore year.
Each student must complete driving sessions either before or after school, or on Saturdays. Missing a scheduled driving time may delay obtaining a driver license.
Each student should obtain a learner permit prior to the first day of class. A fee of 140 must be paid to the main office before the class begins. The receipt of payment (or approved fee waiver) must be presented on the first day of class.
A learner's permit can be obtained when a student turns 15 years old. Students must hold the learner permit for at least 6 months before obtaining a driver license.
Fee waivers are available for coursework taken at school sites during the regular school year.
