[quote=Anonymous]Just to add to this debate.  There is not a lot of gym space for community groups.  I headed a local non-profit basketball league.  Saturdays are game days.  We stack games (as do most local orgs) from 9a until the end of our permitted hours.  (Permitted hours usually start at 8a.)  We pay referees to officiate games.  If a custodian doesn't open on time, that game doesn't get played on that day.  But we still have to pay the referees.  We then have to ask for additional space from NCS to find a spot for the makeup game.

We do not use Sandburg for games, but we do serve a nearby community.  It is expensive to run the basketball program (uniforms, equipment, referees, gyms, etc.).  For an organization that serves low-income communities, it can be a lot when custodians do not show up or show up late on the weekends.  My experience with the custodians and schools has generally been good, but the impact on a late or no-show custodian is more than "awww poor Larlo doesn't get to play his game."[/quote]
