Guidelines

  • AISD Board Policy encourages use of school facilities for activities that benefit students and the school community, so long as they do not interfere with the regular school program.
  • Principals approve or disapprove facility use requests.
  • Facility Use Fees and Custodian Fees are charged to offset the cost of facility use by community groups. If an organization will be serving any type of food, they must complete and submit the Temporary Food Permit from the Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department.  Food Permit for non-school groups is $35.
  • For Profit Organizations may use school facilities provided there is a written agreement that describes the purpose of the event, benefit to students or school community. The organization will be charged facility and custodial fees.
  • Organized Religious Congregations may use school facilities for the same fee charged to other non-profit organizations.
  • No Payment of Fees is to be made directly to the campus or campus staff.  All fees are to be forwarded to the Dept. of School, Family & Community Education. Campuses will receive 50% of Facility Use Fees collected for use of the campus.
  • Criminal History Record Information Requirement--Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain for each covered employee the criminal history record information as required by TEC §22.0834.
  • Contractor Insurance Guidelines--Beginning the 2012-2013 School Year, the Austin Independent School District will implement new Contractor Insurance Guidelines.  Organizations who wish to rent or utilize an AISD facility for their designated purposes must also comply. Contact the Facility Use Office for guidelines.
