Overview

RULE:

6A-3.0171

Responsibilities of School Districts for Student Transportation

PURPOSE:

The purpose is to remove duplicative requirements for school districts to report school bus accidents to the Florida Department of Education (FDOE).  The effect is to cease school bus accident reporting to FDOE that duplicates uniform traffic crash reports already required from police agencies by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.  Additionally, the requirement for school districts to maintain a list of certified medical examiners is deleted because, under 49 C.F.R. Part 391 (compliance with which is required by section 1012.45, Florida Statutes), certified medical examiners must be registered with the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners  to conduct school bus operator medical examinations.  The provision indicating that operators shall not carry firearms while on school board property is deleted as that provision has been superseded by sections 90.115, 790.25, and 790.251, Florida Statutes.

SUBJECT:

Medical Examination Report For Commercial Driver Fitness Determination and its associated guidelines and the procedures for reporting school bus accidents to the Florida Department of Education.
