I live in Keller ISD. The City of Keller owns the property upon which stands the "Keller ISD Natatorium" (that's the name on the building).
TAD: http://www.tad.org/property-data-sheet- ... d=07925972" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The facility is used for a wide variety of purposes, from training the HS swim teams to running private classes and private clubs. The facility is open to the public most days. I can go in, pay 3 dollars or so to swim laps. They run swim and fitness classes for the elderly and for preschoolers. The facility is open year-round, including most holidays and also during the summer when school is not in session.
I spend a lot of weekend and evening time there... my kids swim with a club team and I volunteer occasionally to help run events for a private club that operates out of that pool.
My contention is that since the property is owned by the City, not the ISD, that unless the facility can be clearly defined as a "school or educational institution" (46.03(1)), then they cannot post it 30.06.
The building has been posted with 30.06 signs for several years.
My questions:
-- What is the legal definition of a "school or educational institution" ?
-- If the ISD "manages" the facility (the director is an ISD employee), but remains open to the public year round, and the facility is built on City-owned land, does it meet the definition of "school or educational institution" ?
-- If it's unclear, where do I go to get clarity?
I'd prefer not to be disarmed in an unsecured building where I spend a lot of time.
Thanks!
PS: I understand very clearly that CHL is not allowed "while school sponsored events are taking place". No need to dwell on this. Clear as a bell.
