Driver education dominates Elyria schools drive program debate
The Ohio Department of Education requires a 60 hour drivers education course in all public schools. Irene Bandy says the program includes 36 classroom hours, 24 lab hours and six behind the wheel with parental consent. Districts may hire private driving schools due to cost, though educators warn private programs often lack individual attention.

Driving schools grapple with licensing and safety standards
Driving schools must be state licensed with a 40 hour training and tests by the Highway Patrol. Instructors need clean records and high standards, though providers say the bar is not unreachable. Owners discuss bonds, classroom plus road instruction, weather safeguards, and the risk of accidents like the Moore case in Elyria.
