I meant senior citizens - not seniors in high school. So these rules apply to student groups only? What if a group wanted to use the gym for a basketball tournament at night (not a student group)? How would that work?
I do understand why a school club would need a teacher present. I do not understand why a group not affiliated with the school would. Perhaps the school chose to view this just as a group of students hanging out after school who needed supervision - which does make sense. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick McClure" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2002 9:16 AM Subject: Re: Church and State > I don't know why the senior square dancers wouldn't know a teacher.
