School Boards May Require the Use of Personal Vehicles
School boards have the ultimate authority to hire 'non-instructional' employees and prescribe their duties. In the case of security personnel that have responsibilities at multiple schools, it is obvious that some travel is involved. Therefore, such a policy is lawful, including one that requires the employees to maintain liability insurance coverage on the vehicles. (Attorney General´s Opinion to Mayfield dated October 31, 2008)
