Alumnus urges clarity on Fairfield County facility-rental rules after application denied
Summary
Kendrick Anderson, an alumnus and founder of Unity Lead Network, told the board his application to rent school facilities for an alumni basketball game was denied and asked the district to clarify application criteria and the review process so community events can take place locally.
Kendrick Anderson addressed the Fairfield County Board of Trustees during public comment on April 21, asking for clearer guidance on the district's facility-rental process after his application to host an alumni basketball game was denied.
Anderson identified himself as a 2009 graduate and founder of Unity Lead Network, described partnering to stage an alumni game and said he completed the district's application but faced lengthy back-and-forth and ultimately a denial. He said the event instead took place in neighboring counties and asked the board what the right criteria and steps are for community groups seeking to use school facilities.
Chairman Miller and the superintendent responded by thanking Anderson, describing an open-door policy and inviting him to meet with district staff to clarify the process. The superintendent noted administrators are available to discuss applications and suggested a follow-up meeting to resolve outstanding questions.
The board did not take formal action at the meeting on the rental application; the superintendent invited the speaker to meet with district staff to seek resolution.
