Community Use of Facilities

Questions & Answers about the Use of School Facilities

The tennis courts and outdoor track are available for public use at no charge, when gates are unlocked and these facilities are not in use by student groups or teams. Please respect rules for use posted at each location.

The central school building and grounds have become a center for community groups and organizations. The Board of Education has established a fee schedule for the use of school facilities to cover personnel costs at different times of the day.

Fees are charged for time periods which are not regularly staffed by school personnel and would require overtime for that staff. Two fee schedules have been developed: one for student/youth groups and one for other community groups.

The request for use of facilities should be made on one of the District's "Facility Usage" forms at least one week prior to the date of anticipated use of the space/room. One form is available for school groups wishing to use the facilities; a different form is for other community organizations. Early application is recommended. Forms and a fee schedule are available in the District Office, (716) 753-5800, ext. 5804 or 5808.

Regular school activities will have first priority. Other groups or organizations will be assigned space according to the order of the receipt of their request. Equivalent space may be substituted for a requested space or room, and if suitable space is not available, the request may be denied.
