POLICY 1500

USE OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS, GROUNDS, AND OTHER PROPERTY FOR NONSCHOOL PURPOSES

The Board of Education encourages the use of school buildings, grounds and other property by district residents and nonprofit organizations or groups for educational, civic and recreational purposes at times when they are not in use for school purposes or school related activities.

It is the intent and policy of the Board to balance the interests of preserving school buildings, grounds and other property for the principle purpose of educating students within the district with the desire to permit specific uses of school buildings, grounds and other property by organizations and groups when such uses will not interfere with educational activities. This policy is intended to comply with section 414 of the New York State Education Law which authorizes, but does not require, school districts to open school facilities for certain types of activities. This policy is intended to create and preserve a limited public forum within all district buildings, grounds and other property.

In accordance with the provisions of this policy, the Superintendent of Schools shall establish reasonable regulations for the permissible community use of school buildings, grounds and other property and shall afford equal consideration to all eligible applicants.

In accordance with the New York State Education Law, the following uses of school buildings, grounds and other property are acceptable:

for the purpose of instruction in any branch of education, learning or the arts;

for public library purposes;

for holding social, civic and recreational meetings and entertainments, and other uses pertaining to the welfare of the community;

for meetings, entertainments and occasions where admission fees are charged, when the proceeds are to be expended for an educational or charitable purpose;

for polling places for holding primaries and elections, and for the registration of voters, and for holding political meetings;

for civic forums and community centers, in accordance with the requirements of the New York State Education Law;

for classes of instruction for mentally retarded handicapped/special needs minors operated by a private organization approved by the commissioner of education;

for recreation, physical training and athletics, including competitive athletic contests of children attending a private, nonprofit school;

for non-school hours child care programs, provided that the cost of care is paid for by the person responsible for the support of such child, the local social services district as authorized by law or by any other public or private voluntary sources or any combination thereof;

for graduation exercises held by not-for-profit elementary and secondary schools.

POLICY 1500

Approval of requests will be at the discretion of the Board of Education in accordance with the applicable provisions of law.

Any use not permitted by this policy is prohibited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the New York State Education Law and the Constitution of New York State specifically prohibit the following uses of the District's school buildings, grounds and other property:

social, civic and recreational meetings and entertainments which are exclusive and not open to the general public;

meetings, entertainments and occasions where admission fees are charged and the proceeds are not to be expended for an educational or charitable purpose;

meetings, entertainments and occasions for an educational or charitable purpose where admission fees are charged, and the meetings, entertainments and occasions are under the exclusive control of, and the said proceeds are to be applied for the benefit of a society, association, or organization of a religious sect or denomination, or of a fraternal, secret or exclusive society or organization other than organizations of a veterans of the military, naval and marine service of the United States and organizations of volunteer firefighters or volunteer ambulance workers;

political meetings or rallies unless specifically authorized by a vote of District residents in a school election. (Such an election must be called by the Board of Education upon petition of at least 10% of the qualified voters of the District.)

Fees

Fees shall be established to cover costs to the School District for all activities in school buildings, on school grounds, and for use of other property, except:

those conducted by school personnel that are specifically authorized to be exempt by the Board of Education;

meetings and special events of the Parent-Teacher Association and other formally established and Board of Education recognized parent groups such as organizations of the parents of school-based athletes, musicians or science students;

meetings of local volunteer fire departments, and veterans organizations (as herein above defined) and volunteer ambulance groups.

sports activities of youth groups conducting youth activities with a majority of district residents as participants.
