Flagler Schools Opens Doors: Community Groups Can Now Rent School Facilities Online

Flagler Schools now permits community organizations to use its facilities when school activities are not scheduled. This initiative aims to provide local groups with access to school grounds and buildings, fostering greater community engagement.

Community groups looking to utilize school facilities must adhere to a clear application process. All requests for facility use must go through the Facilitron online system, which serves as the sole portal for processing these applications. This centralized system ensures efficiency and transparency in scheduling and approvals.

Renters must provide proof of insurance as part of the application. This requirement protects both the school district and the community organizations using the facilities. All applicants must also comply with Flagler Schools' district policies, which cover various aspects of facility use, conduct, and safety.

The district specifically emphasizes compliance with House Bill 1473 (HB1473). This state regulation outlines requirements concerning locked doors and gates, ensuring safety and security protocols are met during community use. Adherence to HB1473 is a critical component of the district's commitment to maintaining a secure environment for all users.

Organizations interested in reserving school facilities should begin by visiting the Facilitron online system to review available spaces, understand specific requirements, and submit their applications. The district encourages early submissions to ensure adequate processing time.
