The Board encourages community groups to use school facilities for civic, educational, cultural, and recreational purposes. School related activities shall take precedence over other use of school facilities. When not in conflict with this primary mission, facilities should be available for community use as much as possible, subject to the following limitations:
- Rental fees should be charged as defined by regulation.
- Facility use must preserve facilities and properties for District educational programs.
- Facility use should be scheduled through the principal.
- Facility users must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, city and borough ordinances, School Board policies, School District administrative directives, and permit conditions. All measures necessary to insure the safe, healthy and lawful conduct of the activities, including but not limited to crowd control measures and fire and police protection shall be undertaken and financed by the rental agreement holder.
