Requiring the boards of directors of school districts to allow certain community organizations reasonable access to school property

This bill requires the boards of directors of school districts to allow certain community organizations reasonable access to school property. The bill requires the board of directors of each school district to allow a community organization to have reasonable access to any schoolhouse and its grounds to distribute and provide instructional materials in order to encourage participation in the community organization. The school district is required to establish terms and conditions governing the reasonable access provided to a community organization to provide for the proper protection of students enrolled in the school district, employees of the school district, the schoolhouse, and the property within the schoolhouse. The terms and conditions must prohibit a community organization from interfering with classroom instructional time and allow a community organization to have access to after-school events when such access can be reasonably accommodated. The bill defines “community organization” by reference to federal law related to patriotic and national organizations.
