RENTAL OF DISTRICT FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
BY NON-DISTRICT ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS
BOARD POLICY 1310
The purpose of this Governing Board Policy is
to formally state the Tucson Unified School District policy
of cooperation with the community. The District welcomes public
and private organizations to use school buildings and grounds
for a reasonable fee or in kind payment to cover cost of operation
and wages. The District does reserve the right to review and
deny use of facilities for events that may not be in accordance
with restrictions listed in Governing Board Policy 1350, Conduct
Expected of All Persons On or Using School District Property.
The District, in compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national
origin, sex, religion, disability or age. The District reserves
the right to rent facilities that may not be in full compliance
for public use or when the renter has special requirements
the District cannot reasonably accommodate.
Arizona Revised Statute §15-1105 allows a school
district to lease buildings and grounds to individuals, groups,
or organizations for any lawful purpose, except as provided
in section §15-511. The Governing Board has designated the
Rentals Office to negotiate and ensure that appropriate documentation
is prepared. All users of District facilities must sign a
Rental Agreement and furnish the Rentals Office with a duly
signed original Certificate of Insurance reflecting adequate
liability coverage ($1,000,000 CSL) naming the District as
an additional insured. No District facility will be made available
until these forms are properly executed and should be on file
at least one week in advance.
The District, with the approval of the Superintendent
and Governing Board, shall charge a fee equivalent to fair
market value for the lease of school property, if the lessee
uses the school property for a commercial use. The District
has extended special rates to certain groups that directly
serve District students and their community. (See Administrative
Regulation 1310 for fee schedules).
