Board holds first reading on proposed weight‑room policy, debates liability and access
Summary
Board reviewed a one‑page weight‑room use policy in its first reading, discussing liability language, parent/child access, a $50 annual fob fee and whether to route the policy through legal and the insurance carrier for review.
The Colman‑Egan School District conducted a first reading of a proposed weight‑room use policy that would require a fob for access, include a $50 annual fee and state the district is not responsible for accidents. Board members questioned the liability language and asked staff to consider requiring users to acknowledge that they use equipment at their own risk and to recommend medical consultation before starting a fitness program.
Members also discussed whether children should be allowed to accompany parents using the facility, how fob misuse would be handled, and whether the policy should be reviewed by the district attorney and the insurer. Staff said fobs are collected if users do not renew and access can be disabled; they suggested the policy language could be adjusted after legal review.
