Board adopts new facility‑use fee schedule effective Jan. 1, 2026; clarifies nonprofit threshold and custodial overtime
Summary
The board approved a revised facility‑use fee schedule, reorganizing users into three groups (Group 1: district‑associated nonprofits — no fee; Groups 2–3: feeed), setting differential weekend fees that include custodial overtime ($40/hr), and asking administration to add a written majority‑student threshold for Group 1 eligibility.
The governing board approved a revised district facility‑use fee schedule to take effect Jan. 1, 2026. Administration said existing rates had been well below neighboring districts, and the new schedule groups users as: Group 1 (district‑associated nonprofits such as PTOs; no fee), Group 2 (other nonprofits, churches, colleges) and Group 3 (commercial/for‑profit users). The schedule differentiates school‑day and weekend rates to account for staffing and overtime costs.
Administration said annual revenue from rentals historically ranges about $80,000–$120,000 and that those funds are deposited to a designated facility rental fund (Fund 515). In response to board questions, administration agreed to add a written threshold specifying that a majority (50%+) of participants must be Osborn students for Group 1 nonprofit eligibility, noting that prior practice followed a majority test. The board discussed cost‑per‑square‑foot accounting and how weekend custodial overtime is captured; administration said a $40/hour custodial overtime charge is built into Group 2/3 weekend pricing and covers salary plus benefits and EREs.
The motion to adopt the updated fee schedule was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The board asked administration to add the majority‑student threshold to the written schedule and to provide clearer documentation about marginal costs when returning the final schedule.
