Board debates rental fees and penalties in updated Bracket ISD facility rental addendum
Summary
Administration proposed an updated rental addendum with a $20 per-household fee, a $150 refundable deposit (or alternative monthly/penalty approach) and $25 sanitary-violation penalties; trustees discussed balancing affordability, volunteer cleanup, and enforcement before striking some bullets and adding eviction-on-third-penalty language.
The superintendent presented a revised Bracket ISD facility rental agreement addendum that sets a standard rental fee and lays out deposit and sanitary-enforcement provisions designed to limit custodial costs and sanitation issues after events.
"Rental is the $20 per household," the superintendent said, describing the base fee and noting the proposed refundable deposit would be $150 collected at central office. The addendum also includes a $25 penalty for failure to meet sanitary practices; the superintendent explained repeated violations could result in deduction from the deposit and ultimately eviction for repeated offenses.
Board members debated whether an upfront deposit unduly burdens families with multiple participating children and discussed alternative approaches: a $20 monthly fee option, a flat penalty in lieu of a deposit, or a strike system with three penalties equaling eviction. Trustees and administration agreed to strike at least the first two bullets and to clarify the sanitary-practices penalty and eviction process before final adoption.
Why it matters: The addendum affects how community groups and families access school facilities and who bears custodial and sanitary costs after events; changes may alter out-of-pocket costs for users and district custodial workloads.
