8.5. Consideration to approve agreement with City of Le Sueur for use of Community Center for educational purposes.
Presenter:
Brian Gersich
Description:
Le Sueur-Henderson Schools have historically paid a flat amount for use of community center space for curricular use. This has included use of the swimming pool, gymnasiums, ice arena and weight room spaces. Since the MS/HS renovation, this use has changed given the added District space for physical education activities. This agreement reflects a slightly altered structure to "pay for use," instead of a flat fee to reflect this more recent change in usage. This agreement is for 3 years of use. Administration recommends approval.
