• The Town of Carrboro owns no gyms. All of its indoor athletic programs are <br />conducted in school facilities. <br />• The Recreation and Parks Commission would like access to schools in the <br />afternoons and early evenings. It receives many complaints from the <br />community about how late practices must be held. <br />• The limiting factor in Carrboro's recreation programming is space. There is <br />strong interest in expanding programs for adults and youth, and plenty of <br />volunteers, "The Department is concerned, and the Commission is <br />concerned." <br />• There is a need for afternoon programs for parents and teens. In particular, <br />the Commission would like to provide after school programs at McDougle <br />Middle School. <br />• The money for public recreation programs and for public schools "all comes <br />out of the same purses," Ms, Murrell said. We therefore need to share across <br />the schools and the recreation departments. Working together, the schools <br />and recreation programs can help each other obtain funding, "I hear this on <br />the state and federal levels" in the forums I'm involved with beyond my <br />service in Carrboro, she said. <br />• The Commission is concerned about losing some of the space to which it now <br />has access. McDougle is going to move its wrestling program to its gym. <br />• Many young people do not have adults at home for them when they get out of <br />school. They need recreation programs as early in the afternoons as possible, <br />to keep them busy, out of trouble, safe and healthy. <br />In response to Ms. Murrell's presentation, Mr. Copeland asked how CHCCS <br />secures its facilities when making buildings and fields available to non- school <br />community programs. Dr. Pedersen said that the district requires a custodian to <br />be present, either from the school or one provided by the user, Ms. Bedford said <br />that the district's gyms, anticipating community use, are designed with separate <br />offices and bathrooms so that the rest of the building can be sealed off from non - <br />school users. Ms. Stuckey added that all spaces that the community might use for <br />non - school functions -- the library, gym, auditorium and cafeteria — are self - <br />sufficient, so that the academic, sections of the building may be locked. The <br />teachers have legitimate concerns about classrooms and instructional materials <br />not being disturbed, she said. <br />Mr. Copeland agreed that recreation and schools funding "all comes from the <br />same pocket." An implication of this, he said, is that fewer dollars will be <br />available for education if the school districts pay for non - school community <br />recreation programs.
