Facility Rentals

The Skamania School Board of Directors wishes to encourage use of school facilities by the community as long as use is for a lawful purpose and does not interfere with the conduct of the district’s educational programs, the primary purpose of which the buildings and grounds are intended. Community use of facilities is subject to the terms of District Policy and Procedures 9400 and the current schedule of user fees.

ALL youth sports groups must provide a letter of compliance with mandated Youth Sports Concession Management Protocols.

Funds may be charged for use of school facilities to ensure that funds intended for education of children are not used for other purposes. Permission to use a particular facility may be denied based on a belief that the activity proposed may not be in the district’s interests, or due to the level of previously scheduled use. No person shall be denied the full enjoyment of the facilities because of race, creed, color, sex, or origin.

Completed forms should be submitted to the school principal or office manager.
