Community Use of Schools

The Board of Trustees believes that its buildings and grounds should be used for the benefit of children and adults in the Division. The Board realizes that there are mutual community interests in helping people of all ages to learn, develop and participate in recreation, culture and leisure activities. Every effort will be made to undertake joint and cooperative ventures to serve the Community’s needs for recreation, culture and leisure activities in promoting a healthy lifestyle.
