[quote=Anonymous]FWIW it is more work for janitors.

They do all the cafeteria cleanup immediately after lunches, that room is otherwise empty until breakfast the next day. If a group rents it in the afternoon evening it has to be cleaned again. They also shut most bathrooms after school, only leaving ones open near after care. If they have groups in another wing of the building, that’s another bathroom that has to be cleaned late. It pushes everyone’s schedules back. We already have “bare bones” custodial days about 30% of the time where we are told only trash will be emptied, no actual cleaning will occur in our classrooms. Each of these group requests makes it more likely for those to happen unless there is money to hire more custodial staff.

It’s the same with the gyms and why the youth leagues rent it for the whole night and cram practices in at 5/6/7/8 pm. Then they pay 1 cleaning fee.

It stinks that what you have had access to for years is going away, and the prices seem high, but I’m not surprised. I recently looked into renting an empty field for the day at various nova locations and was quoted $1000 for 8 hours for a non profit. Not even for any additional services like bathroom access or trash pick up. Space just costs here. Some troops won’t pay it, some will, and some of those spaces will be rented by others.[/quote]
