Code No. 905.1R1

1.         Alcoholic beverages will not be brought to or consumed on school grounds.

2.         All tobacco and nicotine products are prohibited in school district facilities and on school district grounds, including in private vehicles.  “Nicotine products” mean any product containing nicotine or any other preparation of tobacco and any product or formulation of matter containing biologically active amounts of nicotine.  “Nicotine product” does not include any cessation product specifically approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in reducing, treating, or eliminating nicotine or tobacco dependence.

3.         A school district employee must be present while the school district facility or equipment is being used by an entity, unless prior arrangements have been made with building administration.

4.         After a school district facility, site, or equipment has been used by an entity, cleaning, including restoring the facility, site, or equipment to the condition it was in prior to its use will be done by employees assisted by a committee from the entity.  The fee charged to the entity for the use of the facility, site, or equipment will include these costs.  However, if excessive costs are involved in cleaning or otherwise restoring the facility, site, or equipment to the condition it was in prior to its use, the board reserves the right to charge the entity for these excessive costs. 

5.         Entities are required to stay within the area of the school district facility or site and use             only the school district equipment authorized by the school district for use by the entity.  Other school district facilities, sites, or areas in the school district building or equipment are off limits to the entity.

6.         A cancellation after the facility or equipment is made ready for the entity will be charged at the full rate.  Cancellations made prior to that time will be charged a minimum cancellation fee or the costs incurred to the school district in anticipation of the entity's use, whichever is greater.
