Board permits historical society fish boil in school commons only if no alcohol is served
Summary
The Three Lakes School Board approved the historical society's request to use the TLC Commons and kitchen as a rain location for the July 6 fish boil on condition that no alcoholic beverages be served on school grounds, citing concern about perception and precedent.
The Three Lakes School Board approved a facility-use request from the Three Lakes Historical Society to move the July 6 fish boil into the school commons and use the kitchen if rain forces a change of venue — with an explicit condition that no alcoholic beverages be served on school grounds.
Administrator Carrie (S3) explained the request and noted prior precedent for similar events; Mary (S7), representing the historical society, said the group preferred to serve alcohol but could proceed without it. Board members voiced concern that allowing alcohol on school property would set a precedent and create perception issues for the district. One trustee said the board sought to promote an environment where community organizations use school resources “without any type of outsider concerning influence.”
The board adopted a motion permitting the use of TLC Commons as the rain location only if alcohol would not be served; the motion passed by voice vote.
