How to Request Use of District 47 Facilities
Reservations for all locations are made through Community Education. Requests must be completed at least seven business days prior to use. Your reservation is not complete until an agreement is issued by the facility coordinator and signed by the person responsible for the event.
Your may submit the rental request using the Facility Use Rental Request Form.
When you submit this form, a copy of your responses will be automatically emailed back to you. Rental requests are not final until you have received an agreement.
When the request is approved, the requester will receive a facility permit/contract via email requiring a signature, which can be done electronically or printed off, signed and email/dropped off at Community Education.
Signing the contract confirms the arrangements, adherence to school district procedures and is an agreement to pay the related fees. The facility use contract is not final until it is signed and a certificate of liability insurance is received. Please do not advertise your event until you have received the facility contract via email. It is the facility user's responsibility to review the district’s facility use and rental information.
