Committee adopts facilities rental fee schedule and launches review of alcohol-at-events language

The committee adopted policy KFE-1, the school facilities use, rental and personnel fee schedule, to enable the facilities office to proceed with fall bookings. Committee member Kim Craven proposed language allowing alcohol at adult nonprofit events under strict conditions (insurance, trained servers, compliance with state and local licensing requirements), and the committee asked the subcommittee and legal counsel to develop a stand-alone KF subpolicy on alcohol use rather than fold it into the fee schedule.

Craven said many comparable districts permit limited alcohol under controlled conditions for adult fundraisers and recommended adding form questions (e.g., "Will alcohol be served?" and age limitations) and insurance/permit requirements to rental applications. Several members asked for data on how much revenue similar allowances produce and urged legal review before final adoption.
