Chesapeake Public Schools' Driver Education Program The
Department of Education approves Chesapeake Public Schools' driver
education program. The
Curriculum Guide for driver education contains 17 classroom performance
indicators and The Standards of Learning Objectives serve as the
conceptual framework. The
Chesapeake School Board requires driver education as part of the tenth
grade physical education and health course.
students must take the classroom portion of driver education but may
elect to take the behind-the-wheel portion at their high school or at a
commercial driving school. If a student elects to take behind the wheel
at their high school a fee will be charged. Please contact your child's
school for fee information.
The success of any driver education program depends upon the combined
efforts of involved, concerned parents, qualified and dedicated
teachers, responsible students, competent supervision, and appropriate
equipment and facilities. Chesapeake
Public Schools is very fortunate to have the resources to provide
students with in-car instruction in a timely manner.
Chesapeake Public Schools has a Driver Education Parent/Guardian/Student
Handbook that is given to each student at the beginning of the driver
education portion of tenth grade health and physical education. It
is very important that parents and students carefully read the handbook
and direct any questions to the studentís driver education teacher.
Summer School driver education is available for public, private,
and home-schooled students living in
. Students must have
completed 10th grade and have a learnerís permit.
