Application to use School Facilities

 

 

APPLICATION TO USE SCHOOL FACILITES

 

The Blaine School District Board of Directors wishes to encourage use of school facilities by the community as long as use is of lawful purpose and does not interfere with the District’s educational programs, the primary purpose for which the buildings and grounds are intended.  Community use of facilities is subject to the terms of District Policy and Procedures and the current schedule of user fees.  Funds may be charged for the use of school facilities to ensure that funds intended for education of children are not used for other purposes.  Permission to use a particular facility may be denied based on a belief that the activity proposed is not in the District’s interests, or due to the level of previously scheduled use.  No person shall be denied the full enjoyment of the facilities because of race, creed, color, sex, or origin.
