The Board of Education may make school facilities available for purposes other than education for use by town agencies, organizations and groups, provided such use does not interfere with school programs.
The Board shall grant the use of school facilities for activities of an educational, cultural, civic, social, recreational, governmental and general political nature which are sponsored by responsible local persons, organizations, agencies or institutions, as permitted by law.

1. The following types of activities will not be allowed:
   1. Activities advocating the overthrow of the federal, state or local government.
   2. Any activity that may violate the canons of good morals, manners, or taste, according to the standards of the community or to be injurious to the buildings, grounds or equipment of the school system.
   3. Any purpose in conflict with school activities.
   4. Fund-raising campaigns, except as permitted by Board of Education policy or by special action of the Board of Education.
   5. Activities which are discriminatory in the legal sense.
   6. Commercial advertising.

Applications for all activities will be filed at the Office of the Board of Education on prescribed forms.
The Superintendent or his/her designee will have the right to act on all applications. The Superintendent, however, may refer any individual request to the Board for its action.
All fees and policies associated with the use of facilities by other than school groups will be set by the Board of Education.
Scheduling the use of school facilities will be done with conservation of energy and resources in mind. The Board reserves the right to consolidate activities in order to accomplish these goals.
