Many Morton East students depend on driving themselves to and from school, but many of those students may not even have a driver’s license. According to surveys conducted at the school with 50 Morton East students, 50% drive to school while 32% reported not having a driver’s license but are driving to school.

While the school can’t do anything to enforce this, students run the risk of getting their driver’s license revoked or a nine-month waiting period before applying for a driver’s license if caught without a permit according to Cyberdriveillinois.com  

Morton offers students Drivers Ed, but spots can be very limited and not budget-friendly for many students.  Some teachers, like Mr. Castrogiovanni, agree that the number of students driving without licenses “would be a lot less if more students had Drivers Ed,”
