6.3. Discussion of Policy 1006.01 --- Community use of school district buildings, site and equipment
Rationale:
Executive Summary
Policy 1006.01 was approved in May or 2016, and has been used by the district for the community use. The current policy and procedure needs to be updated due to some new concerns, and the issue of weight room access. Between the revised board policy, the new administrative regulation and the usage agreement, I believe the board has protected the districts interests and has also allowed for stakeholder access to the exercise and practice facilities in a responsible way.
Discussion:
New concerns: How will we utilize the weight room for school and public use.
Identify specifically individual or group. Concern about injury or health concern. There are no current administrative regulation. Those guidelines come from Perry Law firm. More specific guidelines on what areas of the school are available for public use.

Rationale:
April Work Session Items
Discussion:
Mr. Williams - If there are more items that should be discussed, there should probably be a separate retreat, instead of prior to the April board meeting.
Chris Reiter - Difference between a board retreat/work session and regular meeting? Dirk Triplett - Should we walk through the school to discuss future needs? March 28th - 5:15 pm. |
