School committee waives weekday gym fees for Blackstone‑Millville youth basketball for 2024–25 season
Summary
The committee voted to waive the weekday $20 per‑day facility fee for the Blackstone‑Millville Youth Basketball League for the 2024–25 season while the league continues to pay custodial overtime for weekend events; committee members discussed custodial coverage and gym availability.
Superintendent Jason DeFalco and committee members discussed a formal request from the Blackstone‑Millville Youth Basketball League (BM YBL) to waive the weekday facility fee (not custodial overtime) that the league had not regularly been charged in prior seasons.
DeFalco explained that the league historically pays custodial overtime for weekend use but had not been charged the weekday $20 per‑day gym use fee; the league asked that weekday fees be waived because the group is locally focused and serves town youth. Committee members discussed practical issues tied to facility availability and custodial coverage at the Milville gym, where custodial staffing levels have changed since consolidation.
After discussion, a motion was made to waive the group‑two weekday facility fee ($20/day) for BM YBL for the 2024–25 season; the motion was seconded and approved by the committee. Members noted the district will revisit the fee schedule language and group classifications in a future policy discussion and that custodial coverage or lock‑up procedures may need operational adjustments to support youth and school team practice schedules.
