Reasonable charges to cover custodial and utility costs may be levied.

Facility Use Fees

The USD 450 administration reserves the right to contact you to reschedule or cancel an activity scheduled based upon school needs.

Certificate of Insurance: The User(s) is to take out and maintain a current policy throughout the term of this agreement a General Liability insurance policy with a reputable insurer, having an A.M. Best rating of A- or better, in which (a)  the School is indemnified in an amount not less than $1 million for any claims whatsoever (including injury to persons or damage to property) arising out of the use of the School premises by the User(s); (b) the School is named as an Additional Insured under the policy; and (c)  the policy or a certificate of insurance must be produced to the School prior to use of the facilities. User(s) and the School agree that any insurance policies procured by User(s) that provide benefits or protection for the School shall be primary and that any policies procured by School that might happen to provide protection or benefits to the School arising out of User's use of the School premises shall be excess.

Cancellation: The Shawnee Heights School District encourages the use of facilities by a variety of groups. However, the district discourages groups from reserving facilities and then not using them. This practice restricts other potential users from gaining access. Cancellations will be accepted by calling the Shawnee Heights District Office up to seven days prior to the event. Cancellations may also be accepted on an emergency basis with prior approval at the District Office. Cancellations due to inclement weather will be considered an emergency.
