Eo Smith Drivers Ed
The AAA Driving School program creates lifelong safe drivers by presenting students with real world hands on training.
- Board of Education. The Regional School District #19 Board of Education consists of 12 members, 4 from Ashford, 4 from Mansfield and 4 from Willington. Board members are elected by their respective towns to 4 year terms. Member voting is weighted according to the proportion of each town’s population to the total regional population.
- Smith Education Center is both an elementary school and a middle school in the Fifth Ward. Due to its high transfer rate, the board thought it could save some money by closing this campus.
A quality driver education program taught by professionals who often have trained hundreds or even thousands of new drivers will help your teen learn the rules of the road and how to safely operate a vehicle. AAA’s Dare to Prepare online workshop video can help you determine how to choose a driving school.
Even though Connecticut teens are not required to take driver education through a licensed driving school or secondary school, don’t pass up this critical step. In addition to gaining valuable knowledge and training, teens can get their full driver’s license up to three months earlier if they complete an approved driver education program.
Choosing the Driver Education Program that’s Right for Your Teen
Smith Drivers System
Take the time to find a quality driving school—one that focuses on your teen’s safety—instead of a driving school that is the least expensive, most convenient or focused solely on teens passing the driving test.
- Ask around. Does your local high school offer driver education? Check with friends and neighbors about programs they’ve used.
- Call several driving schools. Ask specific questions about their operations, curriculum and training vehicles and request references.
- Talk to people about classroom vs. online classes.
- Visit several driving schools. Ask to sit in on a session, take a look at the vehicles and student materials. Check to see if they use current training materials, have professional instructors and maintain clean classrooms and safe vehicles.
- Check with the Better Business Bureau.
