While You Were Away...

So over the break, Rep. Walle's office contacted me back, as did the other people I had asked to be on my panel. Everyone said yes, so the green light has been lit, but Rep. Walle also sent me some information that my sources didn't have. It's great to be in contact with someone in the system. Here is the law that I was emailed.

Sec. 1001.353. DRIVER TRAINING COURSE AT PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SCHOOL.

A driver training school may conduct a driver training course at a public or private school for students of the public or private school as provided by an agreement with the public or private school. The course is subject to any law applicable to a course conducted at the main business location of the driver training school.

Added by Acts 2003, 78th Leg., ch. 1276, Sec. 6.012(a), eff. Sept. 1, 2003.


§176.1003. Driver Education School Licensure.

(k) Contract site. A school shall receive approval from TEA prior to conducting a class at a contract site, and approval may be granted by TEA upon review of the agreement made between the licensed driver education school and the contract site. The course shall be subject to the same rules that apply at the licensed driver education school, including periodic inspections by TEA representatives. An on-site inspection is not required prior to approval of the course.

The office was also gracious enough to send me some links to the Texas Driver Statute and to the Rules about teaching Driver's Ed. This thing could really work, and I also apologize for misleading y'all with my earlier posts, but if it helps, I was just as misled. Till next time, y'all!

    So it's no longer you versus the system, rather trying to make it work for you. Well this makes your project better off once you convince the school to accept. Who are you thinking of having as an instructor?

    It's great that you got the rep. on your panel, but I waned to ask how the grant process is coming along.

    The grant process can't start until I have something for people to send money to. However, since the rep. told me that private schools can teach just like public schools, much of the cost is gone. The only thing left to get grants for is maybe a new car and the cost of the instructor training classes. I was thinking someone who doesn't have very many classes to teach, and to find that out I would have to make a Google doc that teachers can fill out. Easy stuff.
