Facility usage is one of the primary contacts between our community and our schools. A wide variety of groups (both non-profit and commercial) utilize our schools seven days a week. Platte County School District supports our stakeholders by managing use of our schools within our community. With nine school sites, we provide a wide variety of space to suit our patrons' needs. Our goal is to provide rental space for your organization while controlling costs.
Please use our online system for facility requests. It is suggested these requests be completed and submitted no less than two weeks in advance prior to the date of event. Confirmation of facility user request login/password and scheduled reservations will be sent via email.

School activities shall always have first priority for facility use. When school facilities are not in use for school programs, they may be made available at reasonable times and reasonable rates to recognized community organizations whose activities are of general interest to the community and whose use of the school facility is for a community purpose.
As a service to the community and in accordance with state law, the Board of Education may allow the use of public school facilities by individuals, groups and associations for educational, recreational, social, civic, philanthropic and other similar purposes as the Board deems are for the best interests of the community. (Board Policy KG).
Permission to use school facilities will be granted to community organizations and residents by the superintendent, or designee, in keeping with the policies, rules and procedures adopted by the Board. The district allows memorial services without the presence of the deceased. However, such use will not interfere in any way with the regular programs and activities of the school district.
A nominal rental fee to cover operational costs (heat, lights, etc.) and custodial service will be charged in accordance with a schedule recommended by the superintendent and approved by the Board. The rental fee will not be charged to any school-related organization. The Board may consider waiving the fee for special public programs. All users may be assessed a fee and shall agree in writing to pay for any damages relating to use of district facilities and agree to pay for any related litigation. For more detailed information, reference Board Policy KG.
A certificate of liability insurance shall be provided by the persons or organizations using school facilities before approval.
General rules, regulations and information on using or renting any of our facilities may be found in the Community Use of District Facilities Handbook.
