Facility Use FAQ

Will District facilities be open for rental or use?

Only school-sponsored clubs and teams are allowed in buildings. The clubs and teams must be led by a District staff member and meet the definition of Policy IGDA and its Administrative Regulation. They may operate between the end of the school day until 6:00 p.m. in elementary schools and 7:00 p.m. in middle, high and options schools.

Are outdoor spaces available for rent or use?

Any person may submit a request to use outdoor space. Approvals will be dependent on a complete facility use application and no schedule conflicts. The District’s COVID-19 requirements will be applicable to users including wearing masks and social distancing.

The District will not be able to provide chairs, tables or other supplies.

If my organization is not a school-sponsored club, will it be able to rent space after school?

Third-party groups and non-school-based clubs and teams are not allowed in buildings. Outdoor uses may be permitted. Examples of third-party users include, but are not be limited to, private companies offering activities and events and meetings for PTOs/PTCs, local agencies and community groups.

The District will re-evaluate facility rental rules as COVID-19 guidance changes and as staffing shortages are alleviated.

Will gyms be available this winter?

The District’s gyms will be available for high school sports and activities. Youth sports offered through THPRD, YDP and YMCA will be allowed to use gyms for practice and games.

Will national testing for ACT and SAT be allowed?

The College Board is a third-party entity that rents space in our high schools to administer national testing (e.g. ACT, SAT). The District will be allowing testing days, though not ever high school is required to do so. The District’s COVID-19 requirements will be applicable to all persons participating in the testing including masking and social distancing.

Will approved users be required to wear masks?

Only youth who are actively participating in an athletic activity may be without a mask. Unmasked persons who are not actively participating in an athletic activity will not be allowed on District property for any length of time.

Users also are encouraged to maintain at least 6 feet of distance between families/groups, to the extent possible. We recognize that social distancing at some athletic competitions may be challenging, so please only attend if you’re comfortable doing so.

Will users have to provide proof of vaccination?

Community Access to Outdoor Facilities During In-Person Instruction and Summer School

Please know that during school instruction time our outdoor school facilities — playgrounds, fields, tracks and paths — will be closed to the general public for the safety of our students and staff. For schools with daycare programs, their outdoor facilities will be closed to the general public until at least 6 pm every weekday.

Families are welcome to use playgrounds, fields, tracks, and paths after in-person instruction and do so at their own risk. Please note that playground equipment will not be sanitized by school staff. Playground visitors are recommended to take precautions for health and safety. Please be mindful and respectful to staff that continue to work in the buildings.
