Weight-room policy requires supervised student use and parent permission

What happened

A district fitness-center policy states that students may not use the weight room without active supervision by a district-approved coach, teacher, or administrator, and requires a signed parent/guardian permission form. The document lists March 18, 2026, as its effective date and caps room occupancy at 20 people.

Why it matters to families

These rules set conditions on student access to the fitness center, including adult supervision and family consent, and restrict community use while school is in session.

The evidence

The policy document in the April 27 board packet applies to all K–12 students, student-athletes, staff, and community members. It also bars students from lifting alone, requires spotters for specified free-weight exercises, and says community members need a signed district agreement; the packet attachment states an effective date of March 18, 2026.
