APPLICATION AND PERMIT FOR USE OF FACILITIES

Thereafter, the use shall be on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • Aid, encourage, and assist groups desiring to use school facilities for approved activities

  • Ensure that the use of school facilities or grounds is not inconsistent with their use for school purposes and does not interfere with the regular conduct of school work​

Fees: The Board believes that the use of school facilities or grounds should not impose costs on the district. The Board shall charge all groups granted facility use under the Civic Center Act in accordance with the facility use fee schedule.  Groups shall be charged fair rental value when using school facilities or grounds for entertainment or meetings where admission is charged, or contributions solicited and net receipts are not to be expended for charitable purposes or for the welfare of the district's students.
