Community Use of School Facilities In accordance with Hallsville Independent School District Board Policies GKD (Legal) and GKD (Local) identified HISD facilities are available on a limited basis and for specific purposes for after-hours use by the community of Hallsville as a public service. Not all facilities are available for public use. All requests for use of facilities must be made a minimum of ten (10) days in advance. (GKD Local) Who is responsible for scheduling facilities? 1. The Principal shall be the primary contact person when requesting the use of any facility on his/her campus, in order to assure there are no conflicts with school use of the facility. 2. The Athletic Director shall be the contact person when requesting the use of Bobcat Stadium, track, gymnasiums, baseball fields or softball fields. The Athletic Director shall notify the campus principal when requests are made from any persons requesting permission to use athletics facilities. 3. The Theatre Arts Director, Band Director, Choir Director, Drill Team Coordinator, and other sponsors shall acquire permission and cooperate with the appropriate campus principal they request use of the auditorium. 4. The maintenance supervisor shall be contacted by the approving administrator in all instances. All requests must go through the maintenance department, in order to determine when lights and heating/air conditioning are needed for an event. 5. As the district liaison regarding facility use, the Assistant Superintendent shall have management approval authority for all requests approved by the campus principals and will assure all communications with all parties. A web-based calendar shall be kept up to date by the Assistant Superintendent and will be the definitive district events calendar. Hallsville ISD Facility Use Expectations: Hallsville ISD is dedicated to maintaining all facilities in a manner that ensures all HISD properties are in good repair. Below are guidelines and expectations for using HISD property. 6. All HISD organizations have top priority when conflicts arise over who is to use which facility. For example, the varsity football team would be allowed to use a gym if needed due to inclement weather, even though a little league basketball team might be scheduled in the gym for practice. Another example would be that the high school theatre department would have top priority if another group wanted to practice a show or conduct a meeting in the auditorium. 7. All facility requests need to come to the maintenance department from the Assistant Superintendent in order to have the HVAC programmed if needed (for example, if the Athletic Director takes a request from a group playing basketball on Monday nights, the AD would also need verification from maintenance). 8. All facility requests are also routed to the HISD Police Department if security is required. This is done through the Assistant Superintendent. 9. Custodial services, if needed, will be the responsibility of the party reserving the facility. 10. 11. Once gym floors have been refinished in the summer, the gym floors will NOT be available for rent until after school starts. 12. Hallsville youth league activities will take top priority over a youth team based in another city.
13. All Hallsville youth leagues would be required to provide a schedule (game and practice) to the Assistant Superintendent before the season begins. 14. All Hallsville youth leagues must designate a person to contact to communicate between the league and the school. 15. Damages to school property are the responsibility of the individual requesting use of the facilities. 16. The individual requesting use of HISD Facilities shall ensure all trash is collected in trash receptacles or disposed of in accordance with ordinances and law. 17. Persistent or serious damages to HISD property will result in suspension from use or termination of privileges by an individual or a group. 18. Any person or group who has to be removed from HISD property or facilities by law enforcement due to their behavior will immediately have a criminal trespass warning issued against them. 19. Any non-school related organization requesting to use HISD gymnasiums and/or cafeterias, on a regular basis, (i.e. little dribblers, boy / girl scouts etc.) will be required to place a $250.00 deposit. This deposit is fully refundable at the completion of the season. The first $250.00 worth of damages will be paid for using the deposit. Any damages incurred during the non-school use of the facility, after the deposit has been used, shall be paid for by the person requesting use of the facility. 20. Teams are responsible for removing any trash, (cups, papers, etc) that the team brings on HISD property while practicing. 21. HISD does not rent any of its facilities for birthday, graduation or any other type of personal party. 22. HISD does not rent any of its facilities for garage sales or any similar activity. 23.
