Solon Springs weight-room rules require supervised student access

What happened

The district’s fitness-center policy, marked effective March 18, requires students and athletes to use the weight room under an approved coach, teacher, or administrator, unless they attend with a parent or guardian. Student use also requires a signed student-parent agreement on file; community access is limited to before school and after 6 p.m. on weekdays.

Why it matters to families

The rules change when students can use the facility without a parent and make adult supervision and a signed agreement conditions of student access. The policy also sets a 20-person room limit and safety requirements for certain lifts.

The evidence

Document 160106, attached to the April 13 Committee of the Whole agenda, states an effective date of March 18, 2026, applies to K–12 students and student-athletes, and describes the supervision, agreement, community-access, and capacity rules.
