[§302A-1148]  Use of school facilities for
recreational and community purposes.  All public school buildings,
facilities, and grounds shall be available for general recreational purposes,
and for public and community use, whenever these activities do not interfere
with the normal and usual activities of the school and its pupils.  Any other
law to the contrary notwithstanding, the department shall adopt rules under
chapter 91 as are deemed necessary to carry out the purposes of this
section and may issue licenses, revocable permits, concessions, or rights of
entry to school buildings and grounds for such periods of use as deemed
appropriate by the department.  All such dispositions, including those in
excess of fourteen days, need not be approved by the board of land and natural
resources; provided that approval by the board of land and natural resources
shall be required when the dispositions are for periods in excess of a year. 
The department may assess and collect fees and charges from the users of school
buildings, facilities, grounds, and equipment.  The fees and charges shall be
deposited into a separate fund and expended by the department under rules as
may be adopted by the board. [L 1996, c 89, pt of §2]
