Re: use of school district baseball fields by taxpayers
Off season use might subject the school district to liability for any defect or ijury occuring. If the district restrict use of the facility to one group but allows others yo might have a claim. But the district does have the right to protect itself. Go to the school board hearing and ask why can't we use off season.
