KG Use of School Facilities by Community Groups (See DFG, JH or Gym Use Policy)      

        The board may allow use of school buildings and school grounds by community groups (outside the school day). Use of any school facility or school grounds, however, shall not interfere with daily school use or any school-sponsored activity.

Fees and Rental Charges
        The board shall establish reasonable fees and/or rental charges for the use of any school facility or school grounds; fees and/or rental charges will cover costs of wages of school personnel involved and utilities. The fee and/or rental charges shall be approved by the board and shall be reviewed annually. Fees may be waived by the building principal or superintendent of schools for district alumni gatherings and civic organizations who provide educational and/or financial support to the school district.

Lease Arrangements
        The board shall approve any lease arrangements.

Supervision of Non-School Groups
        Whenever any school facility is used by non-school groups or individuals, a school employee may be on duty to see that the building and equipment are properly used. A school employee may not be required to be on duty when, in the principal's opinion, it is not necessary.

Insurance and/or Bonds
  The board, through its duly authorized agent, reserves the right to require bonds (cash or otherwise), insurance, or other damage deposits, acceptable to the board before allowing use of the schools' facilities. Use is subject to limited access and availability. Any damages occurring during use will be billed to the individual and/or organization renting the facility.
