The Durham Public Schools Board of Education supports the North Carolina Community Schools Act (G.S. 115C-203) which encourages “greater use of public school facilities” and assures “maximum use of public school facilities by the citizens of each community in this State.”

DPS Board Policy 2035 encourages citizens to use school buildings and facilities for civic, cultural, educational, recreational, and other such activities as long as such use does not conflict with the use of public school buildings and grounds for public school purposes and activities; with state laws; with local ordinances; or with the proper care and maintenance of school facilities.

The Superintendent shall establish procedures for the use of school facilities by outside groups, consistent with this policy.
