School district vehicles may be available to local nonprofit entities which promote cultural, educational, civic, community, or recreational activities. Transportation to and from non school sponsored activities within the state shall not interfere with or disrupt the education program of the school district and shall not interfere with or delay the transporting of students. The local nonprofit entity must pay the cost of using the school district vehicle as determined by the superintendent. Prior to making the school district transportation vehicle available to the local nonprofit entity, the "school bus" signs shall be covered and the flashing warning lamps and the stop arm made inoperable.
It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to develop administrative regulations for use of school district transportation vehicles to transport students and others to school-sponsored events within the state and for application for, use of, and payment for using the school district transportation vehicles by local nonprofit entities for a nonschool-sponsored activity.
