How long will it take for my permit to be processed?
Where does the money go when I rent a BVSD facility?
Community Schools programs do not receive a BVSD general fund allocation. All funds received first go to pay for program expenses including staffing, software and processing fees, etc.
Community Use provides an annual transfer directly to schools based on use of facilities. The money to each school is based on the number of hours of use (rented or district use). Additional funds have been provided to the Operations and Facilities teams to directly support maintenance across BVSD.
How do I pay for my permit?
Are there any times of the year when the buildings are not available?
Rental availability is based on school and facility approval. There may be certain date ranges where a given school is not available for rent.
Once school is back in session in August, we do not start renting space in our buildings until mid September. We give the schools time to get the school year started.
If you would like to rent space in the summer, please contact us for availability.

In general, facilities and property may be available Mondays through Fridays outside the regular school day, generally one-half hour before classes commence in the morning to one hour after all classes have ended in the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday use may be permitted, subject to staff availability where applicable. All community use will terminate by 9:00 p.m. unless specified otherwise in a valid intergovernmental agreement and/or approved by Community Schools.
