• Closed Schools: Impact on Community Usage <br /> Page 4 <br /> 1110 <br /> Based on Policy #1330, which delineates the priority of scheduling school <br /> usage; the major school users who would suffer the greatest would be the <br /> athletic associations and local community groups . <br /> The current priority for school scheduling under Policy #1330 is as follows: <br /> 1 . School District #621 Co-Curricular activities. <br /> 2. Community Education/Municipalities <br /> 3. Community Usage <br /> 4.

The Edgewood Jr. High site alone has the <br /> City of Mounds View's only tennis courts, running track, paved trail system, football/ <br /> soccer field, track and field area, swimming pool , and full sized gymnasium. To reduce <br /> usage of the outdoor facilities would severly impair existing recreation programs . <br /> In conclusion it can be said that there will be a great number of community based <br /> programs which currently utilize gym space which will not be able to be facilitated <br /> in 1982-83 should all four schools not be accessible for community usage. There will <br /> be ample classroom spaces available even with the projected closings of Edgewood and <br /> Johanna Junior Highs. <br /> II . What are the operation and maintenance costs as they relate to proposed <br /> "mothballing" costs? <br /> III/1 <br /> These figures are difficult to tabulate but indoor utility costs for Edgewood Jr. High <br /> in 1980-81 were $91 ,062. This figure includes electricity, telephone, water, gas , <br /> oil , and security. The 1980-81 year was considered a relatively light year for <br />
