    In accordance with Utah State Code Sections 53A-3-413, the Board authorizes, on condition, for the use of school buildings and grounds as civic centers, for other than school purposes.  The Board recognizes that these civic centers shall be established and maintained as limited public forums to District residents for supervised recreational activities and meetings.  It is further understood that use of property for civic center purposes may not interfere with a school function or purpose.

    Under Utah State Code 53A-3-414 the Board shall manage, direct, and control the use of school buildings and grounds when used as civic centers.  The Board shall charge a reasonable fee for the use of school facilities as civic centers so the District incurs no expense for that use.  The Board shall also ensure that school administrators are trained and properly implement District policy according to Utah Code.
     
  2. Administration Policy
    The Board authorizes the Administration to establish the facility rental guidelines, a fee schedule, and personnel necessary to manage the rental and use of school buildings and grounds for other than school purposes.  The Board will review and approve the facility rental guidelines and fee schedule as needed.  The Assistant Superintendent of Auxiliary Services shall administer the rules and guidelines and see that all schools follow established procedures.
