A: In California, public high schools often have policies requiring students to provide certain car information, such as insurance, registration, and driver's license details, to obtain a parking permit. This practice is typically part of the school's efforts to ensure safety and proper management of the school's parking facilities.

Collecting this information helps the school verify that all vehicles on campus are legally operated and insured, contributing to the overall safety of the student body. It also assists in the management of parking resources and can be crucial in case of emergencies or incidents involving vehicles on school property.

If you have concerns about providing this information, it's advisable to review the school's policy on data privacy and security. Schools are generally expected to protect the confidentiality of personal information they collect. If you still have reservations, consider discussing them with the school administration to understand how they safeguard student information and address any specific concerns you might have. Remember, ensuring the safety and security of students and their property is a top priority for schools.
