Dear Parents/Guardians:
Re: E-Scooter and E-Bike Guidelines in Langley Schools
As students, staff, and families get prepared to start a new school year and review health and safety information, the Langley School District is outlining new guidelines around the use and storage of e-scooters and e-bikes at schools. Beginning in September 2026, the Langley School District will prohibit e-scooters and e-dirt bikes on all school sites. This ban applies to elementary, middle, and secondary schools. Legally, e-pedal bikes are permissible at secondary schools; light e-bikes for students aged 14 and 15, and standard e-bikes for students aged 16 and older. E-pedal bikes are permissible at all schools for adults.
School administrators and staff will promote, support, and enforce these guidelines, in alignment with existing District administrative procedures, AP 350: Student Code of Conduct and AP 355: Student Expectations and Consequences.
Health and safety are a priority. We rely on everyone’s support to maintain a healthy, safe, and positive learning environment – in and out of the classroom. These guidelines will be shared with students at the start of the school year along with other important information. We ask for parents/guardians to have conversations with their children about these guidelines and to promote understanding and compliance.
The District is continuing to work with our partners including the Ministry of Education and Child Care, theMinistry of Transportation and Transit, ICBC, and the Langley RCMP on promoting public safety. The District is aware of the concerns with underage e-scooter usage as well as recent evidence indicating an increase in injuries in children and youth riders.
If you have any questions about these new guidelines, please speak with your school administrator.
Sincerely,
Mal Gill
Superintendent of Schools
