School District facilities are available for community use when facilities are not required for instructional or administration purposes. Use of District facilities is subject to approval of the community group's application and is subject to conditions established by the Board of Education as set forth in administrative regulations.

To the extent that school facilities are available for community use, such facilities will be open, under the same terms and conditions, to youth groups including but not limited to Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Big Brothers-Big Sisters of America, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Little League Baseball and similar groups. When outside groups are permitted to use school facilities under this policy, the District will not unlawfully discriminate against groups based upon a group's religious, political or philosophical content of the speech at such meetings.  Alcohol and tobacco are not to be used in or on school grounds.  All groups are responsible for cleaning up any mess they may make while using any of our facilities.

A nominal rental fee will be charged to all Non-Profit/Profit Organizations.  The following regulations have been established to govern the use of the school facilities, and must be done annually:

• A written application to use school facilities shall be made with the superintendent or his /her designee.
• The signing of an application for use of a school facility shall be interpreted as a guarantee to the district that the organization will be responsible for the proper use of the premises, have proper adult supervision, and be responsible for any damage that may occur during the use of the building.
• The person whose signature appears on the application will ultimately be responsible for fulfilling the terms of the contract.Please include other individuals in your group that may be using the facility during your allotted time and dates.
• All organizations will be responsible for a $50 card (scan card used to enter any building) fee deposit, which will be returned when the usage period is over and the individual/group request their deposit to be returned.If damage does occur, the individual/group/organization would be responsible for paying for cost(s) beyond the $50 deposit fee.If a key card is lost or not returned, the organization/individual will forfeit the $50 deposit fee and also be responsible for paying for a replacement key (the $50 deposit fee will not cover the key card).
• Any organization that wants to use the Elementary/High School Kitchen or the MS Auditorium, will leave a deposit fee of $100, which will be returned after the scheduled event has ended (organization responsible for picking up deposit).If damage does occur, the individual/group/organization would be responsible for paying for cost(s) beyond the $100 deposit fee.During the use of any kitchen, the organization will be responsible for paying for a custodian(s) ($18.18 per hour) and kitchen staff ($22.81 per hour).If multiple personnel members are needed, please advise when arrangements are made.
• Any Non-School group using a school facility may be required to purchase or all obtain liability insurance.That insurance information can be obtained from the Athletic Director, or his/her designee.
• Participants may lose their privilege of future use by not securing entrances and exits of the facility being used at the conclusion of each usage. Participants may also lose the privilege of future use by giving key cards to anyone that does not appear on any facility usage agreement. The Monroe City R-I School District has the right to refuse facility usage to any person/group/organization.
