ABBC-AP: Noncurricular Use of District Equipment

EQUIPMENT & MATERIALS

School-owned equipment and materials are intended for educational use and district operations.

However, when equipment is not being used for these purposes, it may be loaned to civic, patriotic and educational organizations with the approval of the Public Relations Department. In no instance will equipment be loaned to individuals, including district employees or families of learners. Based on the item being requested, the district may check with its insurance carrier to ensure coverage and, if available, obtain written confirmation of this coverage prior to granting an equipment use request or the requesting shall agree to pay all damages resulting from use. Requestors must agree to equipment use regulations prior to use. The regulations shall outline the conditions under which equipment may be used and shall contain terms of use, which at least prohibit use for financial gain. 

School buses are only eligible for loan under extenuating circumstances. 

The use of school equipment related to the rental of a school facility is expressly prohibited without prior approval from the appropriate principal and/or program director and inclusion on the rental agreement. Any equipment that is technically difficult to operate must be operated by a district staff member; fees will be assessed for those services. Administrative policy ABBB-AP: Use of District Facilities for Other than School Purposes governs facility rentals at West Fargo Public Schools.
