All District policies, procedures and rules must be followed. Not following facility use policies, procedures and rules may result in temporary and up to full suspension of facility use permissions. Acceptance of an approved permit serves as an agreement to follow all guidance and policies.

FAQ's about Facility Use Fees:

When were fees last increased?

• Rental rates have not been increased for Class 2 & 3 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.
• Time, date, and size of usage will determine if staff fees will be applied. There are also speciality spaces that require staff to operate equipment instead of a user group. Specifics can be obtained by emailing facilitiesuse@isd194.org

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:

• Review the Facility Use Calendar for space availability. 
• Complete a Facility Use Request Form 
• Submit all required documentation that the Facility Office reviews with groups.
• Any outstanding fees must be paid prior to the permit being approved.

A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is REQUIRED for all non-District sponsored use of LAS buildings and grounds. This COI can be submitted to facilitiesuse@isd194.org. It must list ISD 194 as additional insured and have a minimum liability of $1.5 million per occurrence. If you are with a group that does not have insurance and operates under District sponsored during the school year, please email facilitiesuse@isd194.org for assistance and options.

All outstanding invoices must be paid prior to the next permit being issued. This includes past due application fees, staff fees, etc… 

Facility Use is considered Local and Class I (no rent) if the majority of participants are from LAS and are non-profit organizations.
