 3 eighty per cent of all moneys collected by a school from rental
 
 4 fees for usage of facilities by private organizations or
 
 5 individuals shall be deposited with that school for its own use

 7 moneys include but are not limited to classroom, parking lot,
 
 8 auditorium, and dining room rental fees.
 
 9      (b)  Rental fees collected, deposited, and expended at a

13      (2)  Approved by the departments of education and accounting
 
14           and general services.
 
15      (c)  Each school shall set its own rental fee schedule for
