The Southern Columbia Area School District Board of School Directors encourages community use of school facilities when such use is in the public interest, does not conflict with school activities, and is not detrimental to the purpose of schools. Residents, staff members, and community groups can make facility use requests by following the steps in the videos below:

Facility Use General Guidelines
- School groups and programs are given priority usage of all District facilities. Click HERE for the Classification of Groups for Rental Fees. The building principal reserves the right to cancel any permits for school use, should a conflict with school groups or programs develop.
- Applications will not be processed without all completed information, including the certificate of insurance. The School District requires all non-school groups (except when these groups are requesting space for routine meetings) to furnish a Certificate of Insurance ($1,000,000 minimum liability coverage) that lists the Southern Columbia Area School District as “Additional Insured.”
- Users will be billed after the event in accordance with the schedule of usage fee or rental charges. In addition to the facility rental fees, renters may also pay fees for custodial, cafeteria, and light/sound technician services and other fees associated with the rental. All checks should be made payable to the Southern Columbia Area School District. Do not pay the staff member directly. Click HERE for the Facilities Use Fee Schedule.
- The group using school facilities is responsible for providing adequate supervision of the activity. The user is not permitted to enter into any area other than those areas identified in the reservation.
- Organizations and groups using school facilities must designate one adult member of its group to be in charge of and responsible for the program or activity at the time application for use of the facilities is made.
- The Southern Columbia Area School District reserves the right to request an organization to arrange for security protection, activity personnel and/or traffic supervision. Such requests will be at the discretion of Administration and at the expense of the lessee. All personnel shall be those who have been approved by the Southern Columbia Area Board of Education.
- Smoking, use of tobacco products and/or illegal drugs and alcohol is prohibited on all school property (indoor or outdoor). If this provision is violated, the renting organization will be denied the privilege of any further rental for the remainder of school year.
- On days when school is cancelled or dismissed early because of unexpected circumstances (i.e. severe weather), all activities are cancelled.
- No organized groups are permitted to use the School District’s athletic fields or indoor facilities without prior approval. Only Southern Columbia Area School District teams may use Tiger Stadium and the Nesbitt Gymnasium for practice sessions, unless special permission is granted by the High School Principal or designee.
- Please read the Regulations for Use of District Facilities for additional information regarding facility usage in the Southern Columbia Area School District.
