Fees

It is understood that a fee may be charged for building use, plus the additional expense incurred by the school for either additional cleaning needed or for custodial expense if the event takes place when the school normally does not have such personnel on duty.  Organizations wishing to use the kitchen facilities must have a school lunchroom person on duty during period of kitchen use.

Supervision

Organizations using school facilities are to be responsible for insuring that no damage, misuse of the building, or equipment, is tolerated, and that the rooms are cleaned and placed in order.  All organizations must supply sufficient adult supervision for the facilities requested.  Each building principal will stipulate the regulations and supervision required for this building. 

Certificate of Insurance

A certificate of insurance naming Camden Central School District as an additional insured on a primary, non-contributory basis is required for all organizations.  The certificate must be approved by the District prior to use.  The minimum general liability limit required will be $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, unless additional exposures are presented based upon the use by the Organization.  It is recommended that any group that involves minors should have the sexual abuse and molestation coverage in addition to the regular general liability coverage. The certificate must be attached to the building use form.  School sponsored events do not require additional insurance policies; however AED Certified Staff must be present.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Outside Organizations shall indemnify and hold harmless Camden CSD, its officers, directors, and employees against claims, lawsuits, suits, judgments, costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and other liabilities, arising out of or resulting from services provided pursuant to this Agreement, proved that such claim, lawsuit, suit, judgment, cost, expense or other liability  is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or injury to or destruction of tangible property, with the exception of claims, lawsuit, suit, judgments, cost or expenses caused by negligent acts or omissions of Camden CSD, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable, regardless of whether or not such claim, lawsuit, suit, judgment, cost, expense or other liability is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder.

Prohibits

State law prohibits the use of alcohol on school grounds or in school buildings.  This will be strictly enforced and any infraction will mean immediate cancellation of use of school facilities.

Time of Use Conflicts

It is the policy of the Camden Central School District’s Board of Education that school facilities may be used by residents for activities that are educational, cultural, social, recreational, or civic in nature and conducted primarily for the benefit of district residents.  However, if there is a conflict between a requested community used and school sponsored activity, the school sponsored activity will be granted use of the requested facility.

Auditorium Requests

It is understood that the organization named above will leave the auditorium the way they found it as this applies to chairs, stands, screens, curtains, etc.
