Purposed:
The school district promotes community use of school facilities during the hours when school is not in session. The use of facilities will be prioritized:
- HSD3 Sponsored Activities
- HSD3 Organized Youth Groups
- HSD3 General Community and Incidental Users
- Commercial and Non-Recreational Users
In addition facilities are prioritized by intended use and grade level first (ie. court sports on gyms, middle schools students in middle school facilities). This will be implemented through a staggered booking time, with higher priority events being allowed to reserve before lower priority events.
Group Use vs Incidental Use:
A group is defined as an organized gathering of users, meeting on a regular basis, that engage in playing other groups or teams or operate under the umbrella of an organization or agency. Groups are required to present Hamilton School District proof of group insurance, as listed in the facility use agreement. A copy of the insurance certificate must be on file prior to use of the facility.
On occasion, members of the community may wish to rent our facilities for one-time events, such as special activities, meetings, recreation or camaraderie. The District will make every effort to accommodate these activities, but the nature of the event will determine if the rental can be accepted. Please check with the District Office for insurance requirements or hold harmless waivers.
