11.Reservation of the Kayhi commons is with the understanding that it is the main entry area of the school and thus mayhave persons passing through to access other areas of the building. For this reason, no rental fee will be charged forthe commons (though building monitor, custodial, and other technical fees still apply). In addition, reservation of thecommons does not preclude use of other areas of the building by another user group.

Their directions regarding safety and appropriate use shall be followed. Failure to follow schooldistrict policy or the directions of the administrator or monitor may result in the loss of the privilege of using anyschool facility.
