• Discuss the classroom fees again? Notes from Signal conversation: we've had some edge cases, so should we bother making this policy more defined? Or just keep with a case-by-case evaluation? We shouldn't push options that won't be fair to prospective educators w.r.t. to fair use of our space vs. compensation. Currently it's $60 for four hours of classroom rental for non-members, and there is no fee for members. Ideally we should structure all discounts around folks who are running "non-profity" classes (incl. members). Everything should be subject to case-by-case review.
