Use of Facilities
The Board of Education recognizes that the buildings and grounds are a valuable community resource and believes that this resource should be available to the community for specific uses that will not interfere with educational activities. Non-profit, community based organizations may request use of school facilities under appropriate circumstances. Applications and Permits for use of buildings should be made to the main office of the respective school.
Shaw Avenue Main Office
516-434-3700
Forest Road Main Office
516-434-3800
Clearstream Avenue Main Office
516-434-3800
Use of Facilities Permit requests must be approved by the Board of Education prior to the first date of use.
Process
Application/Permit Requests are available in the main office of each school building, at the District Office, and link below. Completed applications can be dropped off at any school building, the District Office, or emailed to SBrady@vs30.org. Completed application includes all back-up documentation including but not limited to Application, Roster, Insurance, Hold Harmless. etc.
If your request includes use of more than one building, a separate application must be submitted for each building.
Once completed applications are received, they will be reviewed, processed, and presented to the Board of Education at the next possible meeting as per the submission timeline for agenda items. Please note: The "next possible" meeting does not necessarily mean the next scheduled meeting, as their are internal deadlines for agenda item submissions. The meeting that your request will be actioned on will be provided to you at the time of submission.
Requestors will be contacted through email within three (3) days of the board meeting with further information on approval or denial.
NO USE IS APPROVED UNTIL YOU ARE CONTACTED. SUBMISSIONS DO NOT GUARANTEE APPROVAL.
