Summary
Board approved several facilities uses and overnight student trips but tabled one item after members raised concerns about allowing regular Sunday evening access for open gyms/wrestling; staff to return with clarifying information and scheduling alternatives.
Board members discussed facility use, weekend enforcement and concessions at youth events and voted to approve miscellaneous facility and trip requests while tabling one Sunday‑evening item for more information.
Superintendent described a plan to shift facility sign‑ups and waivers to an electronic system in October so that outside groups must sign liability waivers and sign in/out. Board members raised concerns about staff members bringing outside groups and the need for a clear policy. "We're probably gonna shut that down," the superintendent said of allowing staff to bring non‑district groups without approval.
Trustees debated whether stadium beverage restrictions enforced for Friday night events should apply to youth Saturday events, noting that concession availability and staffing differ by site. Several board members said they were uncomfortable opening the district to Sunday evening regular programming; after discussion the board tabled item 4a and asked for more information on scheduling and controls.
The board approved miscellaneous items B1–B4 (authorizing third‑party transportation for students placed outside the district, authorizing outside placements for students with disabilities as determined by the special education director, and approving specified overnight student trips) but excluded item 4a (Sunday evening wrestling/open gym) pending more details.
