Facility Rental Rates

Activities where staff is hired and paid by the district specifically for that event. The district is responsible for approving meeting dates or schedules and has financial oversight of the activity. Any payment of fees for participating in the activity is made payable directly to Harrison School District 2. District-administered activities also include:

1. School-affiliated groups such as parent-teacher organizations, school-related parent and community groups, or employee groups of an educational, recreational, social, or professional nature as approved by the district.
2. Governmental entities using facilities as a polling place.
3. Precinct caucuses

District administered activities are not assessed a facility usage fee in most cases. Insurance and personnel fees may be required, depending on the nature of the activity and/or the time and type of facility being used.

Activities where event staff is not hired or paid specifically for the event by the district. The district is not responsible for setting meeting dates or schedules and does not have financial oversight of the activity. Any payment of fees for participating in the activity is made payable to an individual/organization other than Harrison School District 2. Non-district administered activities must provide insurance for the activity and facility and personnel rates apply.

Any individual or group requesting the use of school facilities will be charged fees in accordance with current rates unless otherwise approved by the Superintendent/designee.

A non-refundable fee will be charged to the following groups for each application. No additional staffing charges will be made if their activities take place when normal supervisory or custodial personnel are present. A fee will be negotiated outside normal supervisory hours based on the Rental Fee Chart.

User groups are divided into two classifications. Classifications are listed in priority order for use of the District's facilities and fees are determined based on the type of use and the non-profit status of the user group. The classifications are:

Category 2

1. Community-sponsored groups that do not charge a fee and whose main purpose is to hold an informative meeting that is open to the public (such as League of Women Voters, local neighborhood organizations and recognized community service groups).
2. Community-sponsored youth and senior citizen activities when:
   a. Instructors or supervisors receive no payment for their involvement in that activity
   b. Fees for the activity, if any, provide only for direct non-personnel costs.

Category 3

Commercial, private, church and other non-profit groups that do not meet the criteria in Category 2 and for-profit groups and individuals may rent school facilities when their use is compatible with Board policy.
