NONSCHOOL
USE OF DISTRICT VEHICLES
The Board has made the buildings and grounds of the district's public schools available for nonprofit use, provided that in the opinion of the Superintendent such use would not conflict with, impede or negatively affect the operation of any school‑related activities. The Board will also make school‑owned vehicles available to transport groups of qualified senior or disabled citizens to civic, social, cultural, educational, recreational, nutritional and health programs and activities within the district, or in the immediately surrounding districts, provided the distance does not exceed 20 miles. "Qualified" senior citizens are persons over 60 residing in the area served by this school district and their spouses of less than 60 if they are accompanying them.
The Superintendent or his designee shall
formulate administrative regulations in conformity with N.J.A.C.
6A:27-7.8 and all other pertinent
law. These regulations shall provide for
payment by the group of all or part of the costs incurred by the district in
such use of its vehicles. The
regulations will also refer to, without duplicating, all current regulations
governing conduct of the public on and/or using school facilities.
The Board shall approve the use of
buses for all non-school purposes.
