Fees
Set Up for
School Use

Rules for after-hours use of
school buildings with a charge
of no more than a $2.40 an hour
custodial fee and a flat rate for
school kitchens were formally
adopted this week by the School
Board on recommendations made
earlier by the new superintend
ent, DR.. c. Taylor Whittier.
"A make-shift arrangement for
this year" to comply with the at
torney generals ruling this sum-
mer on a complaint of the Da-
mascus Fire Department, was
DR.. Whittier's frank opinion of
the new rules.
The superintendent stressed
the need for a change in the state
law to allow the board of educa-
ton to get back the costs of
operating the school after hours
and asked that it be given top
| priority on the list OF recommen-
dations to the county delegation
to Annapolis.
A question of whether the Gus
todial fee should be waived for
use of schools by the County
Supervisor of Elections was re.
ferred to the boards attorney.
Other exceptions to this fee are
board of education activities,
school sponsored activities with
free admission, Montgomery
County Education Association
and County Council meetings and
public health programs.
Volunteer Fire Departments,
PTA'S and county hospitals do
not have to pay for use of school
kitchens.
