Due to changes in state funding, the Traffic Safety program is now a self-sustaining program.  The tuition of $255 includes the classroom instruction and four behind the wheel drives.

If three absences or some other event occurs and a student cannot complete the classroom instruction part of the program once started, he/she is able to drop and retake the class in a later session at no additional charge.  The $255 tuition allows a student one classroom retake.  If a second retake is needed an additional fee of $127.50 will be required.  A receipt indicating payment of $127.50 from the building bookkeeper is required before a student can start a third classroom session.

In the past, the State would also subsidize for extra drives if a student needed more than the four drives to complete their class.  The tuition allows for a student to make up a drive if he/she needs to do so.  If any student needs more than the allowed four drives to satisfy the driving skills requirement, they will be charged an additional $30 per drive.

The student will need to pay the bookkeeper the $30 fee and bring a receipt to the Driver's Ed instructor.  They will then be allowed to sign up for another drive.

Tips to keep from paying the extra $30:
    ▪ See that your teenager gets lots of practice
    ▪ Make sure your teenager shows up for his/her designated time to drive.  If a student misses his/her drive,
      this will count as a drive.
    ▪ Make sure you call and cancel a drive if a student is ill or not able to keep a drive appointment for some
      other reason.  If the student is not at school due to illness or calls the Driver's Ed room to cancel his/her
      drive at least 48 hours ahead of his/her scheduled drive (so we can fill their driving slot), then this will
      not count as a missed drive.

The new Graduated License requires that a student hold their permit for a minimum of six months.  Prior to applying for their license, they must have a minimum of 50 hours of practice driving of which at least 10 hours must be night driving.  The TSE tuition will cover a maximum of two class sessions and four drives, behind the wheel, with a driving instructor.  A parent will need to provide a car for their student.
