Nassau County students who want to ride e-bikes or e-scooters to school this year will need to be certified first.
Nassau County School Superintendent Kathy Burns explained the new e-bike policies during an interview on The Morning Show on News4Jax.

The rules require middle and high school students to complete an application and pass a safety course before receiving authorization to bring their electric bikes or scooters onto campus.
“They have an application that they have to complete, and they will have to take a safety course and be certified that they’ve completed that course before they get the authorization to ride their e-bikes on campus,” Burns said.
Students and families can begin the process by contacting either their school directly or the district office.

Burns confirmed that safety courses are available now, with enough time for students to complete certification before the first day of school.
The new policy applies to both e-bikes and e-scooters at the middle and high school level. Students who arrive on campus riding an e-bike without prior authorization will not be permitted to do so under the new rules.
The district’s rollout of the e-bike policy comes as electric micro-mobility devices have grown in popularity among school-age students — and as safety concerns have prompted school districts across the country to formalize policies around their use on school grounds.
Parents looking for more information can contact their child’s school or the Nassau County School District office. Additional details are also available at nassau.k12.fl.us or through the NCSD app.
