Drivers Education Course
Through the combined efforts of the SJC School District and the SJC Sheriff’s Office, the youth of our community are afforded the opportunity to practice and learn skills not commonly found in basic training courses. The intent of the course is to introduce a level of instruction that prepares drivers for both predictable and unpredictable real world driving situations.

Motorcycle Endorsement Requirement
