Facility Use

Any group or agency that seeks public use of school facilities for meetings, entertainment, and occasions that are under the exclusive control of that agency and the proceeds are to be applied for the benefit of that agency will be prohibited. In addition, meetings sponsored by political organization or the use of District facilities by any organization or group to conduct religious instruction or services will be denied.

A community group will be charged a rate of $25/day for building use for general requests for classrooms, cafeterias, and libraries.  The group will be charged at a rate of $75/day for the use of the auditorium.  Please note that if there are fees charged to attend the event, or it is a fundraising event, it will require approval by the Board of Education.  In addition, if a custodian is needed to be on site for the event, there will be a $50 per day charge.  If kitchen equipment will be used, a member of the cafeteria staff MUST be present, and there will be a $50 per day charge for having this staff member present.  Children must be supervised at all times in the cafeteria and only authorized individuals may operate equipment. All charged will be incurred unless it is cancelled 24 hrs in advance.  Any incidental charges (waste removal, turf repair, etc.) will be charged at cost.

Any accidents involving students or school personnel or damage to the school district facilities or equipment must be reported to the Building Administrator and/or Business Manager within twenty four hours. Approval of facilities use is contingent upon submission of appropriate insurance forms (minimum $1,000,000).

In the event of an emergency school closing due to inclement weather or emergency of any nature, all activities scheduled for that day or evening are cancelled. It will be the sole responsibility of any group or organization that has reserved any school facility to publicly announce the cancellation of their event. When the decision is made to close the school, announcements will be made as early as possible on the school website and social media.

To use an exterior athletic field or the pool, a fee of $50 per day will be charged.  A negotiated charge may be established for groups using the pool for extended periods.

All charges will be incurred unless request is cancelled twenty four hours in advance.  To use an interior gym, a fee of $25 per day will be charged.
