<p><p><p><h4 align="center">USE OF FACILITY REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES FOR YOUTH LEAGUES AND ADULT GROUPS</h4></p></p></p>
<p><p><p><body> <h5 align="center"><u>Rationale</u></h5> <p>Alum Rock UESD exists for the children who live within its boundaries, for their education and development. It follows the School Board Policies which are designed to promote the best education possible for all students. School Board Policy #1330 provides that facilities are made available for outside activities as long as those activities “do not limit or reduce the educational advantages or progress set forth for students within the district.” It also follows that any community activities which promote the growth and development of our children will be supported to the extent that the District is able to do so, providing that such activities are devised with the safety and well being of the children involved and conform to State, Local, and District Regulations and Guidelines. The Use of Facilities Agreement and accompanying Regulations and Guidelines are based upon this reasoning.</p></p></p></p>
