Facilities/Use and Civic Permits
SMFCSD believes that school facilities and grounds are a vital community resource which should be used to foster community involvement and development. Therefore, the Board authorizes the use of school facilities by district residents and community groups for purposes specified in the Civic Center Act, to the extent that such use does not interfere with school activities or other school-related uses.
Please read the District's Board Policy (BP) and Administrative Regulations (AR) on Use of School Facilities for more information.
