PUBLIC GIFTS/DONATIONS

Gifts from organizations, community groups and/or outside individuals, which will benefit the District, shall be encouraged. A gift shall be defined as money, real or personal property, and personal services provided without consideration.

Individuals or groups contemplating presenting a gift to a school or the District shall be encouraged to discuss in advance with the Building Principal or the Superintendent what gifts are appropriate and needed.

The Board reserves the right to refuse any gift that does not contribute to the achievement of the District’s goals, or in which the ownership of the gift would tend to deplete the resources of the District. In determining whether a gift will be accepted, consideration shall be given to District Policies, School District goals and objectives (with particular emphasis on the goal of providing equal educational opportunities to all students) and adherence to basic principles outlined in the regulation that accompanies this policy.

The Superintendent may accept gifts in the amount of $500 or less. Gifts in excess of $500 may only be accepted by the Board. Additionally, pursuant to RSA 198:20-b, III, gifts in the amount of $5000 or more shall require the Board to hold a public hearing regarding any action to be taken with the gift. For gifts of less than $5000, the Board will post notice of the gift in the agenda of the next regularly scheduled Board meeting and will include notice in the minutes of the meeting in which the gift is discussed. The acceptance of all gifts will be made in public session.

Any gift accepted shall become the property of the district, may not be returned without the approval of the Board, and is subject to the same controls and regulations, as are other properties of the District. The Board shall be responsible for the maintenance of any gift it accepts.

At the time of acceptance of the gift, there will be a definite understanding with regard to the use of the gift, including whether it is intended for the use of one particular school or all schools in the District. The Board will make every effort to honor the intent of the donor in its use of the gift, but reserves the right to utilize any gift it accepts in the best interest of the educational program of the District. In no case shall acceptance of a gift be considered to be an endorsement by the Board of a commercial product, business enterprise or institution of learning.

It is the responsibility of the Superintendent or designee to process the appropriate forms to update the District’s inventory and to notify the donor of acceptance or rejection of a gift.

Voluntary contributions by District employees of supplies or other minor items of personal property to be used in classrooms or school programs with an aggregate value over the school year of less than $250 are permitted without further approval or documentation. Receipt of voluntary contributions being made by District employees with a value of $250 or more must be approved as required in this policy for gifts from individuals not employed by the District.

Active solicitation of gifts to be received by the District, including by any school, classroom, or program in the District, including soliciting gifts through online crowd funding web sites must be approved in advance by the Superintendent where the value of the gift sought is less than $500 and by the Board where the value of the gift sought is $500 or greater.

COMMUNITY USE OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS

It is the desire of the Auburn School Board to encourage the responsible use of school facilities to
those individuals, organizations, or groups who are members of the local community. This does not
alter the fact that it is the responsibility of the Auburn School Board to require the establishment of
necessary regulations to protect the students and employees of the school, the users of the school
facilities, the school board, the community, and the physical investment of the school district.

For the safety and security of all, the school building’s security system is to be armed any time the
building is unoccupied. Custodial services will be required for the initial opening and final closing of
the building, including those times when the custodian is not working regularly scheduled hours.

Requirements for custodial services are to be reflected in the Application for Use of School Facilities
form. Private, profit-making organizations requiring custodial services beyond regular hours are to
assume the cost of those services per the attached fee schedule.

By both precedent and design, certain events shall receive first consideration during each school
year. These events include school district meetings, town meetings, school board meetings, and
municipal, state, and federal elections.

Facility use will be granted to organizations based on the following priority:

A. School Organizations: those that are recognized by the School Board as directly related to school
activities (no fees to be assessed).

B. Government Organizations: those agencies which are authorized under the laws of the United
States, the State of New Hampshire, the county of Rockingham, the Auburn School District, or
the town of Auburn (no fees to be assessed).

C. Non-Profit Organizations: those that are social, service, fraternal, or religious in nature and serve
the community on a non-profit basis. Youth organizations will receive priority in this section.

D. Private Groups or Organizations: refer to fee schedule on next page.

E. For-Profit Organizations that apply for extended use of school facilities will be charged a fee
negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

Applications for the use of facilities (buildings and grounds) must be approved by the Principal or
his/her designee.

Smoking is prohibited in the Auburn Village School as per RSA 155:64, New Hampshire Indoor
Smoking Act and RSA 126-K:7, Use of Tobacco Products on Public Educational Facility Grounds
Prohibited.

Community groups using the building must provide sanitizing protocols that have been approved by
the Superintendent or his/her designee. Building use may also be temporarily suspended by the
Superintendent or his/her designee.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

1. Those wishing to utilize school facilities may do so by first submitting a completed Application for
Use of School Facilities Form to the Main Office.

2. Application forms for use during non-school hours should be submitted in advance of the
utilization date with the appropriate fees, if required, in the form of a check or money order
attached, payable to the Auburn Village School. Completed application forms are to be submitted
no less than 10 days prior to the event.

3. If a requested activity occurs at a time outside of custodial hours, a fee to open and close the
building will be assessed to private organizations only. This fee should be payable to the Auburn
Village School Facility Account and will be in accordance with the Use of School Facilities Fee
Schedule.

4. Private Organizations – Any outside organization or party requesting the facilities must accept full
financial and legal responsibility for any and all damages and/or claims of damages resulting from
the use of the facilities. A copy of the organization’s liability insurance coverage (one million
dollar minimum) naming the Auburn School District as a co-insured must be provided at time of
submitting Application for Use of School Facilities.

5. The premises are to be cleaned at the end of the event. Failure to do so in a satisfactory manner
will jeopardize future use of the facility by the organization.

6. In accordance with RSA 126-K:7 and RSA 155:64, smoking is prohibited on both the facilities and
grounds of the Auburn Village School.

7. Alcohol may only be available at events scheduled on Saturday evenings after 7:00 p.m., and
when youth organizations are not utilizing the building. At such events, at a minimum, one paid
police officer must be present during the entire evening’s activity. Proof of a scheduled police
detail must be provided. New Hampshire State Law regarding the legal drinking age must be
obeyed and at no times may anyone be present at the event that is under the legal drinking age.

It is the responsibility of the users to make certain that if alcohol is sold or served, all required
permits are secured and copies provided to the school prior to the use of the facility.

8. Adult supervision is required for all groups at all times. The applicant will be responsible for any
damages to district property.

9. In accordance with the provisions of this policy, the Principal of the Auburn Village School will act
upon each application as the School Board’s designee. Applicants may appeal the Principal’s
decision to the Office of the Superintendent of Schools.
