September Meeting Highlights September Meeting Highlights

Policy 707, Use of Facilities - Updated


Given the numerous Committee and Board meetings that have featured discussion of Policy 707, Use of Facilities, the Board voted to waive the First Reading of changes and to approve and finalize the updates to this policy discussed at the August 22nd Finance and Operations Committee Meeting. These changes include the waiver of most fees for Youth Groups and Youth Serving activities in the district. However, groups that cancel or fail to show for a scheduled event will be responsible for fees that would otherwise be incurred, and a minimum cancellation fee will be enacted for any situations where no fees would otherwise be applied.

Contract for Renovation of Softball Field - Awarded

The Board approved a contract with All Star Enterprises, Inc of Exton, PA, to provide a complete renovation of the Softball Field at 8201 Lansdowne Avenue in Upper Darby. This field will be for the primary use of the Drexel Hill Middle School Softball Team.
