Board adopts facilities-use policy, exempts OA and OAE youth sports from 2024–25 fees
Summary
The Oakfield-Alabama Central School District Board approved Policy 3280 (Use of Facilities) with a language clarification to exempt OA and OAE youth sports from facility fees for the 2024–25 school year after brief discussion about wording. The vote passed by voice.
The Oakfield-Alabama Central School District Board of Education voted to adopt Policy 3280 (Use of Facilities) with a clarified line exempting OA and OAE youth sports from facility fees for the 2024–25 school year.
Board members discussed a wording clarification to make the exemption explicit for both OA and OAE youth sports. During the discussion one board member suggested using a slash or combined form so the policy would read clearly for athletic programming. After the change was proposed the board moved, seconded and approved the policy on a voice vote.
Why it matters: the change removes fees for district-associated youth-sports teams (OA and OAE) for the coming school year, affecting summer and seasonal use of district fields, gyms and other facilities. That could lower costs for teams and families and changes how facility scheduling and fee collection will be handled in practice.
Details: Policy 3280 was approved “as written” with the editorial change to the final line specifying that OA youth sports and OAE youth sports are exempt from the fee schedule attached for 2024–25. No roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript; the chair called for and received an aye voice vote and declared the motion passed.
What’s next: The adopted policy and attached fee schedule will take effect for the 2024–25 school year and be applied by district administration when processing facility requests and bookings. Board members noted staff would implement the clarified language before summer programming.
