permission slip signed by each student’s parent(s) has been received by the
principal, or his or her designee, granting permission for the student to
participate in the field trip and to ride in a privately-owned vehicle;
3. The
parent or other adult driving the vehicle is properly licensed to drive and has
the vehicle liability insurance required in the state of Oregon;
