8.01 - Facility Rental

PREAMBLE: Because PCKCS does not employee a full-time custodial staff, it is extremely difficult to provide access to the PCKCS facility under traditional school usage policies. However . . .

The PCKCS facility will be available after school hours for programs that provide academic or athletic enhancement to the students, faculty, parents of PCKCS or PCKCS approved organizations.
 
 Application All applications for building use will be completed, signed and turned into the Business Manager of PCKCS. Any long term usage requests must be approved by the Operating Council.  All other requests will be reviewed and approved by the Business Manager.  All applications will be approved or denied within 30 days of receiving the application. PCKCS reserves the right to approve and/or deny any requests.
Approval and Authorization After approval, a copy of the completed Agreement will be returned to the applicant.  This Agreement will serve as the applicant’s identification to the appropriate PCKCS authorized representative at the time of use.  The PCKCS authorized representative may deny use of the building or facility unless a properly approved agreement is presented.
Cancellation At least the user must give a twenty-four (24) hour notice to PCKCS prior to cancellation.  If this notice is not given, PCKCS may assess fees reflecting all costs incurred. PCKCS reserves the right to cancel building use activities should the space be needed for school or school-related activities.  This privilege will be used only when necessary as a result of unavoidable circumstances.  When school is cancelled for emergencies, or weather conditions, scheduled community use activities will not be held.
Denial of Request Possible conditions of denial may include but are not limited to the following:
1. Facilities may be unavailable at certain times during weekends, holidays, summer vacations, or when they are scheduled for maintenance.
2. Misuse or abuse of buildings, facilities, equipment, or grounds may be cause for immediate and future denial.
3. Violation of federal, state or municipal laws, Douglas County School District, or PCKCS policies or procedures may be grounds for a future denial of request, as well as, the immediate revocation of use and surrender of the premises.
4. If it is determined that a proposed activity will cause excessive wear or require extensive custodial time, the request may be denied.
