No argument here.
In Central and South America, the public school is also often the

community meetings happen, and cultural events take place.

However, is the fact that a school is used for voting once every four years
more important
than that is is a place of education? Is the fact that a school holds a
community event once
a month more important than that it is a place of eduction?
Shouldn't we be tagging the primary use? A village hall might be built
that is then used for
voting and community events, but the school remains a school (until
budgetary cuts force its
closure). A school is primarily an educational establishment and only
secondarily something
else.
