School Building/Facility Services

It is the School Committee's desire that residents of Duxbury have access and use of school property. It is the Committee's intent that such use will not be a drain on the schools' financial resources, and that such organizations will maintain the safe conditions and will not cause any damage to school property. Use of school property for school purposes takes precedence over all other uses. Permission to use school facilities may be revoked at any time due to the needs of the school program.

Use of school buildings and other facilities by organizations generally will be permitted when a worthy educational, civic, recreational, or charitable purpose will be served through such usage, or a substantial group of citizens from the community will benefit. The affiliation of any such association with a religious organization shall not disqualify such association from being allowed such a use for such a purpose. Use of alcoholic beverages or tobacco in school buildings or on school grounds at any time is prohibited.

School facilities will be used in accordance with the regulations and payment schedules set by the Superintendent. A release from liability must be signed by the individual or authorized representatives of the group seeking use.
