Use of School Facilities Policy The policy of the Hastings Public Schools is to encourage the use of school facilities by citizens living in the district. The implementation of this policy requires both individual and community cooperation. Complete information on obtaining a permit to use a school district facility is available on our website, www.hastingscommunityed.com, click on “Facilities.” It is important to request a permit in a timely fashion, as issuing the permit often requires getting permission from building administrators, district Athletic Director, or Performing Arts Coordinator. Every effort is made to work collaboratively with organizations to ensure that community needs are met. Hastings Public Schools always have first priority in using the building, regardless of whether a permit has been previously issued. All community groups, including non-profit organizations, will be charged a Permit Fee for each permit requested. Additional information can be found in the Policies and Procedures document. Please contact us with questions: 651-480-7670 or via online at www.HastingsCommunityEd.com - click the “Facilities” tab at the top of page.
