At its Oct. 1 meeting the Warren County School Board held the second reading of proposed revisions to KG‑E, the district regulations governing public use of school facilities, and asked staff to return with language adding other local educational groups to the priority list.

Staff said the proposed priority order lists Warren County Public Schools instructional and extracurricular programs first, then school‑related groups such as parent‑teacher associations and booster clubs, then Warren County government agencies, and finally “all other spaces available” on a first‑come, first‑served basis. The presentation explained that the online reservation system should prevent last‑minute bumping of non‑priority users once a booking is in the system.

Several board members asked that the regulations explicitly address homeschool and private educational groups (including adult‑education or 18–21 special‑services programs) and discussed where those organizations should fall in the priority hierarchy. One board member suggested adding “other local educational institutions” as a separate category above general civic and faith groups; staff said they would draft proposed language and include it for the third reading.

Staff clarified that existing bookings would not be displaced by a proposed reordering and that the online system timestamps bookings to prevent conflicts. Board members also asked staff to confirm whether Warren County government agencies (for example, Parks and Recreation) are covered in the county agency category; staff confirmed Parks and Rec would be included.

No final vote was taken on the policy text; the board plans a third reading after staff returns with revised wording and confirmation of operational procedures for the online reservation portal.
