Priority System

A system of priorities is established to prevent conflicts between groups wishing to use the same school facility at the same time. All groups must use the Facilities Request Procedure, and the Superintendent or designee shall make the final determination according to this system of priorities:

Priority 1: Activities and programs of the District directly related to the instructional and educational programs of the District.

Priority 2: Adult Education instructional time.

Priority 3: Events or activities designed to serve the youth and citizens of the District, which are planned and directed by school attached groups, including the PTA, and recognized Employee Associations.

Priority 4: Use by community based organizations whose primary purpose is to service District youth or the improvement of the general welfare of the community and where no admission is charged. If donations are solicited or admission charged, all proceeds are to be donated and expended for the welfare of the pupils of the District, for charitable purposes, or for the support of the local organization. This group includes community organizations with 501C3 status, Clubs with 501C3 status, Associations with 501C3 status, and Governmental agencies.

Priority 5: : Use by groups who do not qualify under the provisions of the Civic Center Act, but to whom the District may make facilities available on a commercial rental basis.
