ISB does not allow MS students to drive golf carts (or motorcycles) onto campus. It is our experience that MS-aged students do not know the road laws and etiquette, nor do they operate these safely enough to ensure the safety of our community. It is also worth noting that as unlicensed drivers, it is illegal for them to be driving unsupervised.
During this long stretch of school closure and the summer holiday, we understand that some families in Nichada Thani have allowed their middle school aged children to drive a golf cart in the neighborhood and perhaps they are used to doing this.
For clarity, please note that they will not be allowed on campus. We have also been informed that Nichada Thani will not allow students to park their golf carts at other parking lots to walk into school.
If you live in the neighborhood, please encourage your child to walk or ride a bicycle to school if/when they return to campus. It’s safer and healthier for everyone.
