USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES
The Zachary Community School Board recognizes the interest and capital investment the community has in school buildings, ground, and other facilities, and believes that the same should be available for legitimate purposes, as long as such use shall not violate state or local statutes or ordinances applicable to such use. Use of school facilities by the community, when approved by the School Board, shall be scheduled at times which do not interfere with regular school activities.
The usage of school facilities by individuals or groups shall be based on a properly documented application. The application shall contain, but not be limited to, the following:
|
|
1. |
A "hold harmless" statement having the effect of holding the School Board free from any liability that may arise while the facilities are in use.
|
|
|
2. |
A statement requiring, with limited exception, any person or group leasing the school facilities to purchase liability insurance identifying the School Board as an additional insured. A certificate verifying the purchase of such insurance shall be presented to the School Board along with the signed lease agreement prior to use of the facilities. This requirement may be waived by the Superintendent after reviewing the application for facility usage.
|
|
|
3. |
A statement that the individual or group lessee shall assume all responsibility for damages and/or maintenance expenses invested in the building, directly or indirectly resulting from lessee's use. |
The School Board shall direct the Superintendent to maintain appropriate administrative regulations and procedures governing the use of school facilities, which shall include fees to be charged and appropriate amounts of liability insurance coverage.
