Board adjusts outdoor facility rental structure, returns to a $1,000 flat fee
Summary
Following feedback from community partners the board approved an updated rental-fee approach in the consent agenda meeting: the district returned to a flat $1,000 outdoor rental fee, replaced a previous team-based fee schedule and added clearer damage and long-term rental provisions.
As part of the consent agenda, the Kaneland Board of Education approved a revised facilities rental structure that simplifies outdoor field rentals and clarifies user responsibilities.
Doctor Bogan and the rental committee summarized changes that were previously adopted in the prior year and adjusted after stakeholder feedback. The district moved from a tiered, team-based outdoor fee schedule (ranging from $800 to $3,500) back to a uniform flat fee of $1,000 for outdoor-space rentals. The updated policy clarifies user responsibilities, permits the district to charge back field-damage costs, and preserves flexibility for negotiating long-term rental agreements with community organizations.
Administration said the rollback followed community input and a reassessment of district costs for maintaining outdoor athletic spaces. The change was approved as part of the consent agenda and recorded as carried in the meeting's roll call.
