Upon scrutiny and review the Schechter administration has determined that students who participated in the driver's education course offered by an outside company contracted for that purpose are not eligible for state certification, as aspects of the program were not confirmed to be compliant with state regulations.
Schechter has terminated its relationship with the company that had offered the driver’s education course with the school’s expectation of certification upon successful completion. All registered students will receive a full refund.
In addition, Schechter’s administration is moving quickly to identify alternatives for students to enroll in courses that will provide certification as quickly as possible. All potential solutions are being pursued in recognition that the loss of certification at this late date has the potential to impact the summer plans of students and their families.
Schechter leadership is focused on resolving this issue as quickly and expeditiously as possible. We have offered our apology to the families, but equally important, we are seeking to provide them with alternative options as quickly as possible.
