ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Members of the Orange County School Board are set to discuss proposed rules surrounding student use of micromobility devices, like e-bikes and e-scooters.
During a work session scheduled for Tuesday, the board will discuss adding language to their existing policies in order to regulate the rapid growth of e-bikes and e-scooters on school property.
Under the new rules, elementary school students would be prohibited from bringing motorized micromobility devices to schools.

Middle and high school students would be allowed to bring their e-bikes and e-scooters to school, but they would be required to secure their devices in a bicycle rack or another location approved by administrators.
“Riding micromobility devices is prohibited on sidewalks, courtyards, athletic fields, courts, and other pedestrian spaces on Board property,” one rule reads.
The new micromobility policies also prevent devices’ batteries from being charged while on school property.
The work session starts Tuesday at noon. News 6 will have a crew inside the meeting to report on developments as they unfold.
