Community Use of Schools

  • How to Apply:
    Organizations wishing to use District facilities must submit a Facility Use Request form. These are available from any school site and from the Facilities, Maintenance & Operations department.

    The use form must be approved and signed by the site principal. It is then to be sent to the Facilities, Maintenance & Operations department for approval by the department Director, calculation of any applicable fees or charges, and assignment of custodial personnel, if needed. Invoices will be issued by the District Accounting department.

    Non-profit agencies/organizations must provide proof of non-profit status. Certificates of Insurance are required of any individual or organization requesting facility use. The certificate must name the Õý°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û as additional insured for one million dollars. The certificate may be included with the facilities use permit or may be mailed or faxed to the Facilities, Maintenance & Operations office.

    Field Allocations:
    The City of El Cajon Recreation Department assists the District in handling field allocations for sports organizations. Allocations are done twice per year: January and July. Please contact Julie Alon at Kennedy Center, 619-441-1676, for questions regarding the allocation process. Grass fields are charged at the rate of $20/hour to cover the cost of maintenance and renovation. Dirt fields are allocated at no charge. The city provides a fair and equitable process so that all teams have the opportunity to use District fields.
