Fee for Driver Education

The North Carolina General Assembly in its 2011 Appropriations Act (HB 200) has required that each LEA in North Carolina charge each eligible student a fee of up to $45.00 to take an approved course in Driver Education.  This new fee collection became law on July 1, 2011.

This $45.00 fee is due on or before the first day of your selected class.  You may pay this fee online with a credit card or debit card on a secured site by clicking the link below and filling out a short registration form.  After paying the fee online, you must print a receipt and take it to the Site Coordinator on your campus or bring it with you on the first day of class.  You may also pre-pay by calling Jordan Driving School's office at 704-566-9900 or by visiting their office.  Please click on the Jordan Driving School link on the left to get their contact information.  You may also pay on the first day of class with cash, certified check or money order.  The certified check or money order must be made payable to Jordan Driving School-Charlotte.

Driving Eligibitily Certificates

A Driving Eligibility Certificate (DEC) is a printed document that is issued by the school principal and/or the principal's designee. The Driving Eligibility Certificate certifies that the student is currently enrolled in school and has demonstrated adequate academic progress toward graduation. According to NCGS20-11(n1), some students are ineligible to receive a Driving Eligibility Certificate. Students expelled, suspended or placed in an alternative educational setting for more than ten (10) consecutive days for possessing or selling alcohol, illegal or controlled substances on school property; bringing, possessing or using a weapon or firearm on school property, pursuant to NCGS 115C-391 (d1); or assaulting any school personnel on school property are ineligible. 

The Driving Eligibity Certificate is valid for only 30 days from the date of issue.  An updated certificate is necessary after 30 days of receiving the first one.  You must follow the same procedure when requesting the udpate as you did when you requested the first one.  NOTE: Students must be 15 years old to receive this document. Allow 5 to 10 days for processing to receive this certificate after your request is submitted to your school's main office.

Behind-the-Wheel News!

You will recieve a call from our BTW teacher to schedule your Behind-the-Wheel (BTW) training.  If a student has taken and passed the classroom portion of Driver Education, and within a reasonable period of time has not been scheduled for BTW, please contact Jordan Driving School, Inc. @ 704-566-9900.  It's possible that the student's contact information (telephone number(s) and home address) may be incorrect and need to be updated.  Also, the student may need to have a vision screening completed by the School Bus and Traffic Safety Division (SBTS) of the DMV located at:

DMV East and SBTS Office

As a courtesy, SBTS officers visit our classrooms to conduct vision screenings.  If your child is absent that day, or if your child attends one of our Saturday classes, he/she may receive a vision screening on TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, OR THURSDAY between the hours of 2:30 pm - 4:30pm at no cost.  To receive this vision screening at the SBTS office, a student must bring a completed and signed Restricted Instruction Permit (RIP) from Jordan Driving School.  Please call Jordan Driving School, Inc. (704-566-9900) in advance to receive the RIP form. Students must enter the DMV Office (Suite 130) and proceed to the Help Desk and ask for SBTS. Students must also bring acceptable forms of ID (Birth Certificate and Original SS Card) and be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.  To receive a vision screening outside of the above posted hours, a student may visit any DMV office in Charlotte and talk to a Driver License Examiner.  Please be prepared to wait in line for service.
