The Board for Belvedere-Tiburon Joint Recreation (BTJR) met on Monday night last and on their Agenda was a discussion of the recent problems surrounding their K-Club and Academy programs at Reed School. The School is encountering space issues and has advised BTJR that they can no longer use school facilities for the program and must find alternative space.
Tiburon has allowed BTJR to use the Joint Emergency Operations Center at the Police Station on a temporary basis but the program remains uncertain after the November session concludes. A permanent location near Reed School or on school property for the program is being sought.
Funding will be necessary as portable/temporary classrooms cost upwards of $80,000, particularly if they are on school property. The K-Club and Academy programs are integral parts of the BTJR mission and are well supported by parents using the service. Suggestions are welcome!
Alternatives being discussed now include:
- Portables or Temporary Buildings on Reed School Property
- Use of space on local City/Town Parks and/or Park Areas
- Commercial Space
