Use of School Facilities

All requests must be submitted at least 21 days in advance. While each submitted reservation will be reviewed, reservation approval is subject to the availability of the facility requested and staff coverage.

Although NMUSD makes every  effort to maintain the accuracy of event information posted on the Facilitron calendar, at times, the Facilitron calendar may not include nor reflect all permitted/scheduled events occurring within NMUSD facilities. NMUSD reserves the right to decline applications for facility use that conflict with previously permitted/scheduled events that may or may not appear on the Facilitron calendar, or if the use does not comply with NMUSD Regulations and Policies Regarding Community Use of School Facilities.
