General Information:

Public and Private School students who are at least 14 ½ years of age are eligible to take Driver Education. Effective 12/1/1997 North Carolina implemented a 3-level process for acquiring a driver’s license.

Upon completion of the Driver Education Program, students at age 15 will be eligible for 12-month Level 1 learners’ permit. The first 6 months the student may drive only between the hours of 5 A.M. – 9 P.M. and only with their pre-designated supervisory driver. During the second 6 months the student may drive at any time during the day or night, again with their pre-designated supervisory driver. The second 6 months must be violation free. If a citation is received, the 6-month time will start over from the date of the violation. When the student has had 6 consecutive months of violation-free driving, he/she is now eligible for a Level 2 license. This is a 6 month restricted license that allows the student to drive from 5 A.M. – 9 P.M. unsupervised. Any other time during the day or night must be with their supervisory driver. This 6 months must also be violation free. As before, a citation will start the 6 month time period over. Upon successful completion of Level 1 and Level 2, they may now obtain a Level 3 probationary license that will be good until age 18. Students not completing Driver Education would not be eligible to get their learners’ permit or drivers’ license until they reach the age of 18. Chapel Hill-Carrboro School students must complete thirty (30) hours of classroom instruction and six (6) hours of behind-the-wheel training to be eligible for the drivers’ license examination required by the state.

The designated supervisory driver must provide proof of 5 years driving experience, or sign an affidavit if all or part of this experience is in another state. Also, the designated supervisory driver will be the student’s parent or guardian unless otherwise approved by DMV.

Jordan Driving School, Inc. and Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System are working together to provide Driver Education Programs for all eligible students. Jordan Driving School Inc. is responsible for the driver education instructional program (Classroom/Behind-the-Wheel) at each high school and private school in Chapel Hill-Carrboro school district throughout the year.

The Site Coordinator will schedule students into classroom; the Coordinator may or may not be the Driver Education Instructor. Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System will provide the Driver Education Program free of charge (no cost) only one time.

Code of Student Conduct: Students participating in Driver Education Programs must adhere to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System’s Code of Student Conduct for Summer High School Student’s. In addition, Jordan Driving School, Inc. has specific rules and regulations that must be observed.
