KF Community Use of School Facilities
COMMUNITY USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES
It is the School Committee's desire that maximum use of school property be enjoyed by the townspeople. It is the Committee's intent that such use will occur under safe conditions and preserve the property for school program use.
Use of school buildings and other facilities by organizations will be permitted only when a worthy educational, civic or charitable purpose will be served, or when a substantial group of citizens from the community will be benefited.
School facilities will be used according to the regulations and rental fee schedules recommended by the Superintendent and approved by the School Committee.
Permission for the use of facilities must be obtained through the office of the Superintendent of Schools, where applications are available for this purpose.
