Board adds closure language for community facility use during inclement weather
Summary
The board approved amending policy 3.206 to require facility users to observe school closures during inclement weather, with exceptions only by the director of schools or designee.
The Rutherford County Board of Education amended policy 3.206, which governs community use of school facilities, to add language that community users must observe facility closures in the event of inclement weather unless authorized by the director of schools or the director’s designee.
Staff cited incidents during recent snow days where users were uncertain whether facilities were available; the new language is intended to avoid confusion and unauthorized access. A board member described the change as a “no brainer,” and the board moved, seconded and approved the amendment on a voice vote.
The change requires users to follow district closure announcements and grants an exception process for authorized activities.
