In accordance with Board of Education Policy #3280, Community organizations are welcome to use school buildings and grounds when not in use by students. Groups must submit a written application for a permit and provide proof of insurance. Facility use fees are charged for the use of a school or its athletic fields. Additional fees may also be imposed if there are special circumstances pertinent to the permit.
Applications for Use of Buildings are available in each school office. Please contact the school that you wish to secure for use to obtain an application.
