Use Our Facilities

Thank you for your interest in using a Watchung Borough School District facility!

We are pleased to be able to welcome you into our buildings and promote the use of our schools beyond class hours as a hub for our community.

The Board of Education believes that the school facilities of this district should be made available for community purposes, and have approved policy and regulations to support user groups, including clear expectations for the use of school facilities. These are detailed in the attached Facility Use Application and supporting documents.

Use of the facilities must be properly supervised. A school custodian must be on duty during the entire time a use occurs. The custodian is present for the purpose of ensuring the security and proper functioning of the facility and of enforcing these regulations. The custodian is paid by the Board and may not accept gratuities from users. If the custodian is needed to perform extra services as an accommodation to the user or is required to perform cleaning services beyond what would be typical to restore the space for school programming, the user may be charged an additional fee, and the custodian will be compensated accordingly by the district.

The Board reserves the right to deny an application and to withdraw permission to use school facilities after approval has been granted, and after the use has commenced, if safety and security protocols are not followed, spaces are not left in the condition provided, and/or if school staff and/or participants are not treated with respect.
