Facilities Use Request

The Central Valley Central School District’s (the District) maintains school buildings and grounds primarily for the purpose of educating students within the district. The Board of Education (the Board) recognizes that the buildings and grounds are also a valuable community resource and believes that this resource should be available to the community for specific uses that will not interfere with educational activities. The policy linked below identifies the ways that community groups may use those facilities.

Requests to use of school facilities must be made at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date of requested use. At its discretion, the District may grant the use of a school facility, but reserves the right to designate which school facility may be used. All uses must be non-exclusive and open to the general public. Requests must be submitted via the Master Library (ML) Schedules program. See the links below for information on setting up an account and entering requests.
