Part I. Number of elementary teams times 3 hours divided by 2 teams = gym hours per <br /> week. Number of middle school teams times 4.5 hours divided by 2 teams = gym hours <br /> per week. Example: Ten elementary teams times 3 hours divided by 2 = 15 hours gym <br /> time per week. Ten middle school teams times 4.5 hours divided by 2 = 22.5 hours of <br /> gym time per week. <br /> Part II. The number of hours of gym time available to approved youth sports organiza- <br /> tions will not be fewer than the number used in 1997 -98. When Part I of the formula <br /> works out to fewer hours, Part II will be employed. Teams will be scheduled at the <br /> school requested whenever possible, and the commitment to 97 -98 hours (at minimum) <br /> will be honored at the requested school or at another school if requested school is not <br /> available. <br /> Two teams will be scheduled per gym at the start of the season using the 2 -part formula <br /> above. Youth sports teams may request more practice time at the beginning of the <br /> season. If available, they will receive the time they request. <br /> Prime time for scheduling approved youth sports activities is 5:00 -8:00 p.m. for elemen- <br /> tary schools, and 5:30 -8:30 p.m. for middle schools. SEPs will fill prime time requests <br /> first for youth sports organizations, and will make it available to youth sports organiza- <br /> tions whenever possible. <br /> I. Grandfathered Class II User Groups. <br /> Implementation intent: To allow groups with previous use (with substantially the same <br /> people) to continue to use 4J facilities. <br /> Grandfathering Criteria: Anyone who has had a season -long or year -long signed <br /> agreement (beginning 1997 -98) is automatically grandfathered into the scheduling. Adult <br /> groups will be moved to later times when possible. <br /> User groups in Class II with a history of using sites will be "grandfathered" into sched- <br /> ules, sometimes taking hours prioritized for Class I users (E -G). The intent of this is to <br /> phase in prioritization and maintain good relationships with people in the community. <br /> District 4J administrators will review the list of Class II users under consideration for the <br /> "grandfather" status. The "grandfather" list will shrink with time as Class II groups that <br /> have used the sites do not reapply. <br /> J. Groups that have Class I status retain that status year around, including the fee <br /> structure. District 4J will meet periodically with users to review the impact of increased <br /> usage on gyms and other facilities. Approved groups that would like to expand existing <br /> programs (add additional teams requiring more time) or add a new program (new <br /> category of use) on 4J sites will bring their request to a quarterly site use meeting as far in <br /> advance of the proposed implementation as possible. Time allows for information <br /> gathering and discussion about availability, condition, and maintenance of sites. After <br /> 4 <br />
