Facilities Management

Public school buildings are primarily for use by public schools and their programs. The Becton Regional High School District is at the heart of the community. With a strong tie between the district and the people it serves, collaborative opportunities exist when it comes to facility use.  Therefore, the Board of Education believes in the benefits of community use of school facilities if such use does not conflict with the educational program of the schools and when such use does not place the district in a vulnerable position regarding liability.

The Board of Education reserves the right to refuse rental services for activities that in the sole judgment of the board are illegal, violent, immoral, may endanger the health or safety of persons involved, or may result in damage to school property. The Board further reserves the right at anytime, to establish and revise rules, regulations, and fees for use of school facilities. Initial and continued use of school facilities will depend upon compliance with the rules and regulations of the Board of Education policies. Failure to comply with the  the USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES POLICY will result in the loss of privilege to use our school facilities.
