Driver Record Checks for all District Employees Using White Fleet Vehicles
This year Mr. Lee would like for driver record checks to be done at the beginning of the school year for all district employees that anticipate using a white fleet vehicle during the 2019-2020 school year. Conducting the driver record checks ahead of time will assure that we have no delays in approving the use of district vehicles, as it relates to our liability insurance.
Any district employee planning to utilize a district vehicle is to scan/email a copy of the front of their driver's license directly to Diana Olvedo-Karau for processing.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Diana Olvedo-Karau, UCISD Transportation Secretary, 830-333-7003 Ext. 1060.
