    CSSE students are eligible to take Driver's Ed at any of the 3 high schools.  During the school year, we encourage our students to enroll at Jordan Matthews High School.  We can provide bus transportation to JM at 3:00 PM.  There is no school transportation provided for pick up after class sessions.  During the summer, students can take DE at the school closest to their home.
