CIVIC CENTER PERMITS
Use of Facilities – Civic Center Act (Education Code §§ 38130–38139)
The California Education Code §§ 38130–38139, also known as the Civic Center Act, governs how school districts may permit the use of school buildings and grounds by outside organizations. Under this Act, school facilities may be used by organizations, clubs, or associations formed for recreational, educational, political, economic, artistic, or moral purposes.
Such use is called “civic center use” and must be subordinate to, and not interfere with, the instructional program or other public-school purposes. Civic center use may be provided on a free, direct cost recovery, fair rental value, or commercial basis.
