Student Parking

1. Parking and driving on campus is a privilege, not a right. 
2. Students with less than 85% attendance (previous semester) will not be able to purchase a parking permit.  Student attendance will be checked at the end of the semester.  
   1. Students who have less than 85% attendance at that time will forfeit/lose their parking permit and the purchase price for the parking permit will be refunded at a prorated value of the time left in the school year.
3. Violators are subject to loss of parking privileges, fines, discipline, and towing at owner’s expense. 
4. The building administrator or designee may deny or revoke permission to park at any time, without advance notice, and may establish additional rules as needed to control school parking areas. The purchase price for the parking permit will be refunded at a prorated value of the time left in the school year. (Based on 180 days)
5. Those students on the waitlist for 2nd semester parking with 90% attendance or higher will be given priority consideration as spaces become available. 
   1. If a student’s parking pass is revoked for any of the above reasons, they will go back on the waiting list for a parking space and must be in good standing to be reissued parking privileges when their name comes up on the list.
6. Parking permits are non-transferable and non-refundable. Misuse (i.e., parking permits and parking spots cannot be sold, lent, or given away by students ) may result in the loss of parking privileges and discipline. 
   1. If a student gets a new car or switches cars with another family member, the parking permit must be placed in the car, and the main office needs to be notified. 
   2. Parking Permits must match the licenses they are connected to. 
7. Parking permits must be visible in the vehicle at all times. The permit must be readable from outside the vehicle and placed on the driver’s side bottom left of the windshield. 
   1. If the permit cannot be seen, a ticket will be issued. 
   2. Replacement parking decals are $5.00 each.
8. Parking in “visitors” or in other spots not assigned to the student will result in a ticket being issued. 
   1.  The 2nd violation will result in the vehicle being towed at the owner's expense.
9. Parking on school property is at the owner’s/driver’s own risk. The school district does not assume responsibility for damage to or loss of privately owned vehicles or property within vehicles.  It is the responsibility of the student driving the vehicle to ensure that weapons, dangerous instruments, ammunition, fireworks, tobacco products, alcohol products, drugs or drug paraphernalia, or any other items not allowed at school or school-related activities are not in the vehicle.
10. The school has the right to search cars at any time while on campus as a safety measure.
     

1. BLHS is a closed campus. To help ensure the security and safety of students and vehicles, parking lots are off limits to students during the school day.
2. Transporting other students from campus during school hours without permission (ex: during lunchtime) will result in disciplinary action 
   1. Ranging from After School Detention to revocation of your permit for the remainder of the year and/or next semester depending on the time in the school year. 
3. Once parked, cars are not to be reentered until the end of the school day and students are leaving campus. 
4. No loitering is allowed in parked cars. Cars are not to be used as lockers for books or equipment storage during the school day.
5. In an emergency or if the student needs to access their car, students will go to Student Services and request a security escort to their vehicle. 
   1. Frequent requests will result in the loss of this privilege. 
6. Improper operation of a motor vehicle on or around school property will result in suspension of parking privileges and/or disciplinary measures. The speed limit on campus is 10 mph or less at all times. 
7. Visitor or staff parking spaces are off-limits to all students. Students without a parking permit must park off campus. 
   1. No parking is allowed in the bus zone between 7 am and 3:30 pm.

If a student parks in a staff member's parking spot, they will be asked to move their car immediately, and the time missed will not be excused. Disciplinary action may also be taken.

Ticket process: The ticket will be placed on the windshield or issued when disciplinary action is assigned. A copy will go to the bookkeeper, and an email will be sent to the student and parent notifying them of the ticket.
