Board approves annual waiver-of-facilities-fees resolution for nonprofits
Summary
The board authorized the superintendent to approve an annual waiver-of-facilities-fees resolution for certain nonprofits that use district facilities, after members debated fiscal impact versus student engagement and service benefits; motion passed by roll call.
The board approved an administration recommendation authorizing the superintendent to approve an annual resolution waiving facilities‑use fees for certain nonprofit organizations that serve students, following debate about fiscal impact.
Member Hannah argued that waivers have a real cost to the district and said the board has previously moved to limit waivers. Other members, including a former facilities manager, pointed to a spreadsheet showing the number of students served by waiver recipients and argued that organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club provide meaningful student engagement that offsets the district’s cost.
The motion passed on a roll-call vote with several members saying the student impact justified the waivers; the board asked administration to track the fiscal effects and student counts for future evaluation.
