Driver instruction class signup deadline July 1
From our weekly issue dated July 01, 2009
Rogue Community College is offering a High School Driver Training course at Illinois Valley High School.
Classroom sessions will be held July 13 to 30, Mondays through Thursdays, from 8:45 to 11:30 a.m. They will take place during the IVHS regularly scheduled summer school hours so that students will be able to take a bus to and from school.
An additional 12 hours of on-the-road driving instruction that does not coincide with the classroom schedule will be arranged between the instructor and students.
This course is available for a discounted tuition rate of $229 for current high school or GED students under the age of 18 who have a learner’s permit, but do not yet have a driver’s license. Students must receive their learner’s permit before the start of class.
The course meets Oregon requirements for high school driver education and may allow for discounts on student auto insurance.
This course is being brought to IVHS through the school’s 21st Century Grant Program. Students who successfully complete the program will receive a $100 refund on their course tuition. Financial aid and payment plans are available to families who qualify.

Participants will learn positive, helpful hints and methods for working with a new, young driver.
