An agreement between the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services and Jefferson High School will allow cheerleaders and other athletes to practice in the otherwise unused gym on the former Montana Developmental Center campus.
The Jefferson High School District No. 1 board — absent member Denise Brunett — unanimously approved the agreement at its Nov. 19 meeting. Under its terms DPHHS will not charge the school to use it, but requires the school to provide a certificate of insurance and assume all responsibility for liability arising from its use of the facility.
Superintendent Tim Norbeck said the school would also provide custodial services and possibly “work out a deal” to help resurface the floor if student use proves sufficiently heavy.
