14. FYI - Use of School Facilities
Attachments:
(
)
Rationale:
The attached "Request for Use of School Facilities" forms do not need board approval; facilities are either being used by not-for-profit or community organizations. All have insurance coverage with the minimum $1,000,000 required, with the exception of the Blooms of Spring Pageant (May 11 & 12) sponsored by Hearts-n-Action - the organization/pageant is headed by system employee Shannon Wells, a teacher at CVES; therefore, proof of insurance is not required. The pageant is to raise funds for student Samuel Crane who was injured last fall when a gun discharged, striking his leg resulting in the amputation of his leg below the knee. All proceeds will be used to help pay Samuel's medical bills. LMS Assistant Principal Cheryl Ewing has volunteered to serve as the school representative during the event; Hearts-n-Action will pay for the clean-up. Channel 2 News will also be on hand to cover the event. LMS Assistant Principal Cheryl Ewing and Director of Schools Jackie Abernathy have approved the request.
Mrs. Abernathy and principals of the respective schools have approved all requests. |
