The district employee or volunteer serving on the school campus after school hours would be provided immunity from liability consistent with the immunity granted other district employees and volunteers. The costs for opening school campuses after school hours would be borne by the local school district. The cost would depend on the amount of time the building was open, the level of recreational and tutorial services offered, and the number of volunteers the district was able to obtain.
