What this document actually says
Policy 1330: Use of School Facilities (Last revised November 14, 2023)
This policy allows community members and groups to use Reed Union School District facilities and grounds when schools aren't using them. The district follows California's Civic Center Act, giving priority to school activities first, then community use on a first-come, first-served basis.
Key rules:
- Groups must pay fees covering direct costs (utilities, janitorial, maintenance)
- School-related organizations may use facilities free if activities benefit district students
- Religious services must be charged at least direct costs
- Events charging admission must pay fair rental value
- Schools must serve as polling places when requested by election officials
- No advertising allowed except per Policy 1325
- Superintendent manages scheduling and ensures community use doesn't interfere with school operations
What this means for your family
Your family can rent school facilities (gyms, fields, multipurpose rooms) for community activities when not in use for school purposes. Expect to pay fees covering the district's actual costs—electricity, cleaning, staff time. School-related groups supporting Reed Union students may qualify for free use. This policy ensures facilities benefit the community while protecting school budgets from absorbing outside groups' expenses.
