(AP) Several thousand students have lost their driver's licenses since Kentucky school districts began imposing a "no pass, no drive" policy, but participating schools report only mixed results. One hundred school districts in 75 counties have adopted the plan and Bourbon County is the latest district to be considering it. Under the policy allowed by state law, students lose their licenses if the school tells the state they have dropped out, have not passed four classes a semester or have nine or more unexcused absences. They can get their licenses back if they fix their problems the following semester.
The policy doesn't apply to students after they turn 18. Since the General Assembly approved the plan in 1990, 12,695 students have lost their licenses, according to the state Department of Transportation. Licenses were 8,409 cases.
