GENERAL INFORMATION – 2015-2016

All vehicles parking on the LHS campus during the school day must be registered with the school and display a current, valid parking permit. Permits should be displayed in the front lower left inside corner of the driver’s side of your vehicle. Between the hours of 7:00am–2:30pm, parking is by permit only. Any student vehicle parked on campus without a valid 2015-2016 LHS permit parked in an unauthorized parking area (i.e. staff lot, handicapped parking or visitor parking), or parked in an improper manner, will be ticketed and subject to a parking violation fee. Repeat offenders risk having their permits revoked. The administration of LHS reserves the right to immobilize or tow any vehicle. Towing will be at the owner’s risk and expense. Students who use their vehicle to cut class or accumulate “lates” to school will have their parking privileges revoked. Students are prohibited from transporting others or carpooling with others, and/or leaving campus during the school day (includes work study, administrative waiver, intern and open campus) without written permission. If in violation of this policy, students will have their parking privileges revoked. STUDENT PARKING ON THE LHS CAMPUS IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT.

FEES AND FINES

The cost for an LHS student parking permit is $25. Payment must be made at the time of application. Parking fines and penalties will be assessed for parking on campus illegally (no permit visible, unauthorized space, improper parking, etc.) as follows:

• 1st, 2nd and 3rd offense = $20 fine each offense
• 4th offense = $20 fine and letter home (beyond 4 violations- parking privileges will be reviewed)
• Unpaid fines are a financial obligation. Diplomas and/or report cards will be withheld if obligations remain unpaid.
• Unauthorized parking in handicapped spaces will result in a ticket issued by the Sheriff’s Dept.

All fees and fines go directly to accounts that fund student activities and initiatives. (Parking fees issued by local authorities are not collected by LHS.)

PERMITS

All students wanting to park on campus, including students on a modified schedule such as work study, internships, administrative waiver, or open campus, must submit a completed parking application. Permits for general student parking will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. CTC students may not park on the LHS campus unless permission to drive to CTC has been granted by both CTC & LHS. Due to space limitations or traffic safety considerations, a “freeze” on issuing permits may become necessary during the year.
