Facility Use Requests are the initial steps in the process by which community members, organizations, or external groups seek permission to use school buildings or grounds for events, activities, or meetings outside of regular school hours. These requests require submission of a formal application, which outlines the purpose of the event, the specific facilities needed (such as classrooms, gyms, or auditoriums), and the anticipated number of participants. Schools prioritize requests from educational or community-based organizations, but they may also allow for events like sports leagues, cultural programs, or public meetings, as long as they do not interfere with regular school activities. The process includes review by school administrators, who consider factors such as availability, safety, staffing needs, and then District Office approval to ensure adherence to district policies. Depending on the type of event, there may also be fees for facility use or requirements for insurance and security. Facility Use Requests ensure that school spaces are utilized efficiently while maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for both students and the broader community.
