The School Use Policy Application Agreement Form and Table of Charges as established by the Board of Education are to be found in this section. Principals should especially note the following points:

1. The Table of Charges is determined by the Board and can be changed only by the Board. It has been developed in accordance with the state law, which encourages community use of school facilities, but limits commercial use. The Table of Charges is in accordance with the studies of cost of operation and maintenance. It does not presume to cover full costs, but it establishes rates commensurate with those published by other school districts.
2. The rental agreement will normally be initiated by the applicants through the principal’s office.
3. Agreement will be prepared for the applicant, and the school. As soon as the activity is over, the school representative will state on the school copy any damage to school property caused by the applicant groups, any charges for damages that should be applied, and any infractions of rules and exceptions to the agreement, such as running overtime. He will sign this and deliver to the principal. Where long-term agreements are in effect, the school representative will file reports of any damage or exceptions to the agreement as soon as they occur.
4. The various groups desiring to rent a facility should be classified and assigned to one of the following categories:
   • 4.1 Any group or individual that sponsors a project or program and expects to make a profit by charging admission or fees, or from selling items, promoting sales, advertising, etc.
   • 4.2 Any group that is not-for-profit such as local government, service, and civic clubs, church or other tax-exempt organizations. The District may waive the fee for public service organizations that perform strictly public services, such as beautification committees, civic groups, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc. When they request the occasional (less than four times a year) use of a classroom for meetings provided, the use of the facility does not require extra custodial service. This fee waiver does not include gymnasium, auditoriums, cafeterias or kitchens.
   • 4.3 Any school sponsored education and recreational project or program, such as community school, PTA, school health, etc. This category includes projects and programs that are the responsibility of the Weber School District, and directed by an appointed school district staff member.  There is no charge for these groups.
