The key being, "when school is not in session." School is in session for kids whose parents pay for before and after care, but not for everyone. I don't know about your school, but at our school, the aftercare kids play on the playground during aftercare in nice weather (I can't speak to before care, I've never been at the school at that time). The regulation is in part to protect the children enrolled in aftercare, to make sure that they are the only kids playing at the playground, and that other children can't come around to make trouble, and neighborhood weirdos can't start creeping on them.[/quote]

Why would the aftercare get exclusive use of a school playground after school hours? That is a sincere question. Is that in the aftercare's contract?[/quote]

Go to Bradley Hills ES to watch this in action. There is the school's playground, then the MoCo Parks playground immediately adjacent. The school playground is granted exclusively to the camp (it's still summer) that's operating there. They dont' seem to mind if I show up with DD to play on it, but I also realize they have a right to ask me to leave. Then the MoCo Parks playground we can use as much as we want during normal MoCo Parks operating hours (daylight hours).

The school is renting their facilities to the camp, just like schools rent out their facilities on evenings/weekends to community and religious groups, and related (I have taken Montgomery College courses at MCPS school buildings).[/quote]
