Students who attend Evansville Public Schools may ride their bicycles to school at their own risk. The school district shall not be responsible for the student’s personal safety while not on school property, or the damage to, loss or theft of the bicycle.
Any student who rides his/her bicycle to school shall be responsible for parking the bicycle in a designated area established by the administration and for adhering to bicycle safety regulations that are published in the student handbook.
Kindergarten students are allowed to ride bicycles to school, but must ride with a parent or guardian.
