Board of Education States-
Policies for Playgrounds

Open
Pointe
Defer, Trombly, Pierce, Kerby and Vernier Fields Are
Not Large Enough for Hard BaNGame5
- At the regula!' meeting of me BOard of Education on
June 5,' the policies regulating the use, of school playgrounds
were clarified and formally adopted,
Since many qUe!jtions hiive arisen through the'press and
in communications \lo the Board over' the past year or two
about the use of these playgrounds outside of school time,
it was thought acjvisable. to state in writing, policies that
have been followed for some time, and to improve these
policies in the light of modern needs.
In brief the slated policies
pl\lvide: (1). definite procedure5
for groups other 'than the .schools
to secure permits to use school
playgrounds for schedulea games
and contests; (2) general rules of
decency and order required of
groups using School playgrounds;
(3) .protection of' neighbors bOl'.
dering school playgrounds; (4)
designation for hard baseball
'playing . at the following playgrounds:
Richard, .High. School,
Mason School; (5) pr~hibiti.rig
golf on any. playground a~d
hard baseball on any other than
mentioned above, because the
size or location of Defer, Tromb.
Iy, Pierce. Kerby "and Vernier
are not adeqJ,late for h~rd base.
ball; (6) prohibition of any con.
tests or scheduled games on any
pubUc school playgrounds on
Sunday mornings.
The policies also stat2 that; because
of the primary responsibility
of the Board fo;' expenditures
from its regular budget
for keeping playgrounds in shape
for regular programs of school
children, no expenditure of school
flmds will be authorized for improvement,
supervision or .main-.
teoance .of these grounds, ex.
cept where such expendilurl
contributes to the playground
program involved in the regular
curriculum or extra-curriculum
acvtivities approved by the
~ard, or for general maintenance
of the property. '
A recent example of this type
of eScpenditiJre' was t.lJe coopera.
tive eXpenditure of the. Village
of Grosse Pointe Woods and the
Board of Education in the im~
provement of the ball"field at
the Mason School. Since this
playground can also be Used for
the hard ball games of the regular
Board of Education super.
vised summer playground, it. was
'deemed justifiable to make modest
expenditures of school fund!
in cooperation with the Village,
even though the field will/be
used chiefly ror ball gaInes by
the community which are not a
part of the rellular .school program
