Wrenshall Board reviews draft community‑use policy, fee schedule and rules
Summary
Board packet included draft Policy 902.1 Community Use of School Facilities: it encourages public use but requires facility permits, adult supervision, possible liability coverage, prohibits tobacco and intoxicants, and sets building hours and category‑based fee priorities (Categories I–IV). The packet also lists rental fees for specific spaces.
The board reviewed draft Policy 902.1, titled "COMMUNITY USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES," which opens by stating the district "encourages the public use of school facilities" but clarifies that issuing permits is not an endorsement of activities. The policy lists rules that permit holders must follow — including adult supervision, room‑specific restrictions, securing the building, possible liability insurance minimums of $500,000, and sanctions for unauthorized use.
The packet included general guidelines and an hourly/daily fee schedule for facility rentals (Library $50/hr; Main Gym $70/hr; Kitchen $40/hr) and spelled out Category I–IV priorities for scheduling and fee responsibility. It also set event manager and security rates, concession rules and custodial/setup charges and required permit requests at least 72 hours before events. Board members discussed enforcement mechanics, insurance requirements and how custodial overtime or event manager fees would be assessed for different categories of users.
