School or Child-related Groups or Other Government Agencies include those organizations whose main purpose is to promote the welfare of students or to provide members of the community access to government programs or opportunities for civic participation. Examples are Scouts, Campfire, PTA, 4-H, city or county-sponsored recreation groups, polling places, political caucuses, and governmental groups. The district will provide office recruiting representatives of the state and United States military forces, Job Corps, Peace Corps, and America Corps with access to school facilities (including number of days and type of presentation space) equal to no less than the access provided to other post-secondary occupational or educational representatives. Custodial and/or Food Service fees may be charged when additional time as needed at $45/hour. |

Non-profit groups and organizations may use school facilities for lectures, promotional activities, rallies, entertainment, college courses, or other activities for which public halls or commercial facilities generally are rented or owned. The district may charge a rental rate in excess of costs incurred. Excess charges may be waived when a service club or other nonprofit group is raising funds for charitable purposes. Professional fundraisers representing charities must provide evidence that the charity will receive at least sixty (60) percent of the gross revenues received from the public prior to approval to use the facilities.
Similar treatment may be granted public universities and colleges when offering college courses within the community or when any university/college is offering a course for staff at the request of the district. Nonprofit groups of the kind that in most communities have their own facilities (churches, lodges, veterans groups, ranges, etc.) who wish to use district facilities on a regular, but temporary, basis may do so under this rental rate. Custodial time will be charged as needed at $45/hour. |

Commercial Enterprises include profit-making organizations and business-related enterprises. While the district would prefer these organizations use commercial or private facilities, facilities may be rented for non-regular use at the prevailing rate charged by commercial facilities in the area.
District-sponsored activities, including curricular and co-curricular functions, retain first priority in use of facilities. Authorization for use of school facilities will not be considered as endorsement or approval of the activity, group or organization.
While most commercial enterprises will be charged the prevailing rate charged by commercial facilities in the area, the superintendent is authorized to make exceptions, on a case-by-case basis, to allow a commercial enterprises to use district facilities at no cost or in exchange for the provision on in-kind services if (1) the commercial enterprise is providing an educational service that the district deems beneficial to the district's students, and (2) the district would otherwise not be able to provide such service, providing such service would not be economically feasible for the district, or having the commercial enterprise provide such service would save the district money. Custodial time will be charged as needed at $45/hour. |
