§ 10910 School Facility Community Use

This law lets school districts let other public groups use school buildings, grounds, or equipment for community recreation or other public purposes, as long as it doesn't disrupt regular school use, and it doesn't change existing rules about school building use.

Key Takeaways

  • •School districts can share facilities with other public agencies for recreation or other public purposes.
  • •The shared use must not interfere with normal school activities.
  • •This rule does not cancel or limit existing laws about school building use (Sections 40040‑40058).

Example

A city wants to hold a free after‑school art class in a school gym.

The school district can let the city use the gym for the art class because it happens after school hours and won't interfere with regular classes, and the use is for a community recreation purpose.
