Summary

At a second reading of Board Policy 1330 on use of facilities, Assistant Superintendent Amanda Phillips presented updates adding CSBA language; trustees asked for an itemized accounting of custodial and other rental fees and requested staff return with an equitable fee breakdown.

Assistant Superintendent Amanda Phillips presented a second reading of revisions to Board Policy 1330 (use of school facilities), saying the updates add language from CSBA and clarify cost responsibilities for users. Trustees asked questions about the fee schedule, particularly the labor/custodial charges that can add several hundred dollars to a rental.

One trustee asked for clarity on whether external renters or district-affiliated coaches pay custodial fees and requested an accounting of how much revenue facility rentals have produced in recent years and how fees are allocated to site budgets. Phillips said the fees represent minimally required overtime to cover union labor and custodial needs and that the district itemizes operational costs; trustees requested a deeper accounting and comparison for fairness and equity.

The board took the policy revision as a second reading and did not adopt additional fee adjustments at the meeting; members directed staff to provide an itemized fee breakdown and an analysis of revenues and charges for a future meeting.
