OPINION — AG — ** USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES ** A BOARD OF EDUCATION (SCHOOL BOARD) IN THE EXERCISE OF ITS DISCRETION OF 70 Ohio St. 5-130 [70-5-130] WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES BY PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS MAY MAKE REASONABLE CLASSIFICATIONS. A PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION MAY 'NOT' BE DENIED THE USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES IF COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS ARE PERMITTED SUCH USE.
