PAGE 16, WEDNESDAY APRIL120, 1983, WHITOY.F~Rç~ Schoul gyms booked If you have attempted to book a sehool gymna- sium, auditorium or other facillty for your organlzation's event, you may have discover- ed, as others have, the extent of use by the publie of the Durham Board of Education schools after the normal sehool day, Monday to -F-riday. AUl through the reglon the public knows that when sehools are flot being used for day school or nlght achool purposes, or for school functions, the facilities are available for use by organizations, church ,groups, boy scouts, girl guides and others. The gymnasiums and auditoriums are usually first to be reserved, sometimes months, or even a year ahead of the scheduled use. On the other hand, ordinary classrooms get their share of use too, usually for meetings of various kinds. In the smaller and rural communities the sehool is usually the focal pointand very of- ten' the only facility where indoor sports can be played, ratepayers' groupe can gather, and. boy scouts and girl guides can hold meetings. The Durham Board of Education feels that since the taxpayer, one way or another, pays for the schools and their maintenance, they should be able to use them, under certain conditions and restric- tions, whenever they are available after sehool hours. In the 1982 sehool year 5,112 permits were issued for the use of sehool facilities. 0f this total 2,786 permits were issued for Elementary sehools and 2,326 for Secondary sehools.
