Agenda Item Summary: This memo provides an update of Community Use of Facilities for both November and December 2020. To provide context, non-essential use of all ACPS facilities was suspended as of March 13, 2020 (due to school closure in light of Covid-19). In November 2020, essential use of our facilities by Virtual Plus+ partners (childcare services) was permitted, as well as use of schools for the Alexandria Electoral Board (Presidential Election) and a Grab and Go Festival. In December, Virtual Plus+ partners were permitted to extend use and Alexandria Health Department’s (AHD) Points of Distributions (POD) for COVID-19 vaccine distributions where activated.

No funding was collected for use of schools in November or December 2020.
Background: School Board Policy KG, Community Use of Facilities, requires the preparation and issuance of a monthly community use of facilities report. Monthly reports will provide an overview of both ACPS-related and non-ACPS related facilities use.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board accept the report on Community Use of Facilities for November and December 2020.
