FAQ's about Facility Use Fees:

• Rental rates for Class 2 & 3 User Groups had an increase that went into effect on the first day of the 2022-23 school year. They had not been increased for more than 10 years.
• Staff fees are adjusted as staffing costs and building operating demands evolve. The latter is reviewed and updated annually and is approved at the discretion of the Business Office. Staff fees will see an increase for the 2023-24 school year. Those specific amounts will be published prior to June 30, 2023. 
• Time, date, and size of usage will determine if staff fees will be applied. There are also specialty spaces that require staff to operate equipment instead of a user group. Specifics can be obtained by emailing facilitiesuse@isd194.org
• Any other fee updates that will go into effect the first day of school in September 2023 will be included in an email notification to all current facility user groups/contacts and updated on this webpage prior to June 30, 2023. 

ADDITIONAL REMINDERS ON FACILITY USE: 

Adult supervision is REQUIRED for ALL facility use. Minors will be asked to leave the property if approved adult supervision is not present. Groups may lose access to permits if this is not strictly adhered to by all who are with an association. 

A pre-approved Facility Use Permit is required to be issued for ALL non-District sponsored use of LAS buildings and grounds and the permit must be obtained through the Facility Use office. 

Steps include:
