In some cases, students may not realize that e-dirt bikes are treated similarly to gas-powered dirt bikes under the BC Motor Vehicle Act and are subject to significant fines, vehicle impoundment and other penalties.<\/p>\n<p>Comox Valley Schools is asking parents and caregivers to please ensure children are not riding dirt bikes or e-dirt bikes to school or on school property. These vehicles create serious safety concerns for riders, pedestrians, cyclists and other students.<\/p>\n<p>We appreciate families working with us and local RCMP to help keep school communities safe for everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>School Board Office Hours &#8211; Summer\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please be advised that the School Board Office will be closed to the public from July 13 through August 14.
