For what purpose can the schoolhouse be used while school is not in session?

The purpose of allowing the schoolhouse to be used by any lawful public assembly as deemed proper by the board is to promote community engagement and resource utilization. This flexibility enables schools to serve as community hubs, supporting a variety of activities outside of traditional educational purposes. Once school is not in session, the facility can be valuable for meetings, events, and gatherings that contribute to the local community, provided they align with legal and safety regulations.

This approach reflects the understanding that school facilities are often significant assets in the community, allowing for diverse uses that promote collaboration and strengthening of community ties. It also gives the school board the authority to determine and manage how the facilities are utilized, ensuring that any activities are appropriate and beneficial to the broader public. The other options are more restrictive, limiting the use of the schoolhouse to specific types of activities rather than embracing a broader community-focused perspective.
