Facilities Use
Welcome to the Chico Unified Facilities Department
The Board of Trustees recognizes that District facilities and grounds are a community resource whose primary purpose is to be used for school programs and activities. The Board authorizes the use of school facilities and grounds by community groups for purposes provided for in the Civic Center Act when such use does not interfere with school activities. All school-related activities (clubs, class events, etc.) shall be given priority in the use of facilities and grounds under the Civic Center Act. Civic Center Use may be either free, subject to a charge not to exceed "direct costs," or subject to an amount determined to be "fair rental value". Ref. The Civic Center Act, Ed. Code Sec. 38130-38139 and CUSD Board Policy 1330.
School facilities shall not be available for public use under conditions or at times when use would interfere with the regular school program, or when the public use would be inconsistent with the purposes of public education.
Scheduling the use of school facilities and grounds is required. All school affiliated organizations and others who use the facilities and grounds outside of normal school hours, defined as one hour before school begins until one hour after school is over, must have pre-approval.
