District Building Usage

The sale, consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages shall not be permitted on District premises at any time. Nor shall any person who is in a drunken or intoxicated condition, or who is under the influence of a controlled substance be permitted on District premises. The person in charge of the meeting will be held responsible for the enforcement of this rule. 

Animals are prohibited on school district property during after-school events. The only exception to this policy is for documented service animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Any individual, group, school or non-school organization wishing to use any of the school facilities must do so by completing the Application for Use of School Facilities. This application can only be submitted online via Facilitron. Scheduled district administered activities shall always have priority over non-District administered activities that have not been scheduled yet. In no case shall verbal commitments for facilities use be considered in any way binding upon the District. If selecting a high school location please note that the athletic facilities schedules are fluid and can change anytime. If a Pattonville School District sporting event is rescheduled due to a cancellation of a previously scheduled sporting event, an outside group will be displaced to another date or another available Pattonville School facility to accommodate the fluidity of the school’s athletic program schedules.

The burning of candles is prohibited.

Use of school facilities is limited to the facilities requested by the user at time of application and may not be modified without prior approval by the District. No portion of any District facility may be used by any group after 12:00 o'clock at night without prior approval of  the Facilities Manager.

It will be necessary to have a District custodial staff member, or other staff member as assigned by the Facility Usage Manager, present for all inside activities, unless otherwise approved in advance by the Facility Manager. In addition, a District staff member may be required to be present for outside activities if deemed necessary by the Facilities Manager. Applicable costs for these District staff members will apply.

Damage or breakage occurring in any building or grounds on account of the activities of an organization using it as a meeting place shall be paid for by the organization. Damages will result in additional charges, a meeting with the group organizer and may result in the denial of future facility rental.

No use of equipment shall be granted unless an instructor or attendant that is approved by the Facility Manager is in charge of the rooms or equipment. Use of Pattonville equipment shall be outlined in the rental agreement before any usage is permitted. Equipment usage is subject to availability. If District personnel are required to be present during use of equipment, personnel rates will also apply.

Any individual or group requesting use of school facilities will be charged fees in accordance with current rates, unless otherwise approved by the Manager of Facilities. In addition, personnel fees required to execute facility usage request will also be charged. All fees are due upfront before a group can utilize the facilities. Additional charges for damages and overages will be assessed after the event and due within 10-days.  The privilege of use may be suspended immediately if there is evidence of misuse of the facilities at any time.    

Special permission must be received to serve meals. The use of the school kitchen must be approved through the Facilities Manager and a Food Services staff member must supervise the use of the equipment (additional charges for supervision will be assessed). The schools have the prerogative of operating a concession stand.

The application of material to walls, ceilings or floors is prohibited unless previously approved. User groups must remove their excess materials, equipment, furnishings and rubbish after facility use. User groups must return room furniture to the original set-up.

Gambling is prohibited on any school property. Games of chance or raffles involving money will only be allowed by organizations that are designated as a charitable organization under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Service code.
