The school district administration shall determine whether to provide transportation for students, spectators, or participants to and from extracurricular activities.  This includes the decision to provide transportation, the persons to be transported, the type or method to be utilized, all transportation, the persons to be transported, the type or method to be utilized, all transportation scheduling and coordination, and any other transportation arrangements or decisions.  Employees who are involved in extracurricular activities shall be advised by the administration as to the transportation arrangements made if any.

The school district may charge fees for transportation of students to and from extra-curricular activities conducted at locations other than school when attendance is optional.
