As facilities use requests increase, many districts find themselves without sufficient policies or procedures to navigate the Civic Center Act. This session is designed for school administrators, facilities staff, and legal advisors seeking clarity and practical guidance. We’ll explore how to manage facility access fairly, ensure legal compliance, and address challenges such as scheduling conflicts, preferential use, and long-term use agreements. Presenters will review the legal obligations under the Civic Center Act, highlight common pitfalls, and offer actionable strategies to strengthen internal processes. We'll also examine when more comprehensive facilities use agreements or licenses are appropriate—such as with swim clubs or youth organizations—and how to evaluate and mitigate risk, negotiate fair terms, and maintain equitable community access. Whether you're updating your use policies or handling a surge of requests, this session will provide the tools and insights to help your district stay compliant, transparent, and responsive to your community.This event is reserved for school district or public agency employees only.
