Lubbock ISD staff say homeschool groups can rent gyms but students keep priority
Summary
Facilities staff told the committee that homeschool groups have inquired about renting district gyms and would pay fees and work around schedules, but staff emphasized that "district students must always have scheduling priority, even in the case of last-minute changes."
Facilities staff told the Lubbock ISD Facilities Committee on Aug. 22 that the district has received rare rental requests from homeschool groups seeking to use school gyms.
Staff said the groups have been willing to coordinate around student schedules and to pay applicable fees, but reiterated that "district students must always have scheduling priority, even in the case of last-minute changes." Committee members agreed that student schedules will take precedence. The item was presented as an operational update rather than a policy vote; staff indicated current practice will continue and that campuses retain scheduling authority.
