The term "premises or facilities" refers to various types of physical properties that can be used for educational purposes. This includes buildings, structures, equipment, roads, walkways, parking lots, and other types of real or personal property. Essentially, it encompasses any location or item that may be utilized in an educational setting.
This term is often used in the context of civil rights and education law. It is particularly relevant in discussions about equal access to public school facilities, ensuring that all youth groups, including the Boy Scouts of America, have the same opportunities to use these spaces. Legal practitioners may encounter this term when dealing with cases related to discrimination, facility use agreements, or public access laws.
Here are a couple of examples of abatement:
For instance, a public high school may have various facilities such as classrooms, gymnasiums, and outdoor sports fields. Each of these is considered part of the school's premises. Additionally, a community center that offers educational programs for youth would also fall under this definition as it provides facilities for learning.
One significant regulation is 34 CFR 108.3(l), which defines "premises or facilities" in the context of equal access to public school facilities. This regulation ensures that all youth groups can access educational spaces without discrimination.
