If that Board of Education gets its money from tax payers, it doesn't sound so much different to me. And therefore also not fair to commercial competitors who sell advertising space in the same neighborhood.

One of the local authorities in my surroundings has a party center that you can rent for weddings and stuff. Because they can raise taxes any time they feel like it, their party center is dirt cheap to rent. Local entrepreneurs (the French don't have a word for that) are going to court to stop that madness.

No, governments should never operate as if they were a commercial enterprise! It ruins business.
