Student Withdrawal From School  - Loss of Driving Privileges

 

                When the Superintendent of the Ironton City School District receives information that a student of compulsory school age has withdrawn from school, the Superintendent must within two (2) weeks after the withdrawal, notify the registrar of motor vehicles and the juvenile judge of Lawrence County.  Such notification is not necessary if a student has withdrawn because of a change of residence, or the student is enrolled in and attending, in accordance with school policy, an approved program to obtain a diploma or its equivalent.

 

                Notification to the registrar of motor vehicles and the county judge must comply with

 O.R.C. 3319.321, with the U.S. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) and accompanying regulations.

 

                After receiving such information from the Superintendent, the registrar of motor vehicles is required to suspend the temporary instruction permit or driver’s license of the student who is the subject of the notice.  If a temporary permit or license has not been issued for that student, the denial of driving privileges would remain in effect until the student reaches eighteen (18) or until the denial of driving privileges is terminated for another reason allowable under the Ohio law.

 

                In accordance with Ohio law, a student whose driving privileges have been denied can file a petition with the juvenile court in whose jurisdiction he/she resides.
