    General Statement - Philosophy

    It is the intention of the Board of Education to make school facilities available to responsible organizations, associations, and individuals in the community for appropriate civic, cultural, welfare, educational, or recreational activities that do not interfere with the conduct and best interests of the school system.
     
    The Board of Education recognizes the investment which the community has made in the District 203 buildings and facilities. These facilities may be temporarily used under such provisions and control as the district may see fit to impose. School facilities should be maximally used by citizens of the community as long as the school program is not hindered.
