The school buildings and grounds are maintained for the education and recreation of the school children of the district, and no use shall be made of the buildings or grounds which would interfere or disrupt their most effective use for the benefit of the school children. All uses of school buildings and grounds shall be consistent with section 414 of the Education Law.
Such use may take place during school hours only if, in the opinion of the Board of Education, the use will not be disruptive of normal school operations. Both during and after school hours, all such use should pertain to the general welfare of the school and/or community, in compliance with the Education Law. Any such use, however, shall not be deemed an endorsement of the activity or purpose for which the facilities are used.
The Superintendent shall determine the category of organizations, approved activities, etc., which are entitled to use district facilities. The Superintendent or his/her designee(s) will prepare and distribute procedures and necessary forms to parties interested in applying for the use of one or more district facility. All applications are subject to the final approval of the Superintendent or his/her designee. The use of special district facilities shall only be granted if an individual trained in the use of such facilities will be present at all times.
All persons on school grounds at any time are subject to the standards of conduct as outlined in Board policy 1520, Public Conduct on School Property.
