(KLZA)-- The Falls City Board of Education voted to revise the school district policy on leasing, rental and use of school facilities during a special Monday meeting.
The revised Administrative Regulation 5340, returns the authority for managing the facility use of Thomas Memorial Track and Field to the Falls City Public Schools administration, and provides the administration, general facility usage guidelines.
In a news release issued Tuesday afternoon, it says “The Board of Education believes the authority for managing the use of the Thomas Memorial Track and Field is best addressed within the leadership and coaching ranks of our school. “ The Falls City Activities Director will be responsible for the scheduling.
The release says the intention is not to take away the use of the facility to any Falls City school or community organization, but the board wishes to provide guidelines for the use of the school district's stadium facility, so it is fully utilized to meet the needs of Falls City Public School students.
Section 7 of Administrative Regulation Code 5340 says the policy of the Falls City Public Schools is to make Jug Brown Stadium / Thomas Memorial Field facilities available for Sacred Heart School use when that use does not conflict with any scheduled Falls City Public School function.
The guidelines state the football field is available for use at 6:00 P.M. to allow Falls City Public School to practice at the stadium in advance of games. If the field is not in use, earlier use times, Junior Varsity and Junior High games will be permitted as scheduled through the Activities Director.
Varsity practices will be permitted on the week of a home game, again to be scheduled through the Activities Director.
