Civic Center Permit

Issue appropriate permits to allow for the use of public school facilities as a civic center to members of the community for supervised not-for-profit recreational activities, meetings and public discussions.

 

The major function of the Civic Center Permit Office is the issuance of the appropriate permit to allow for the use of school facilities in conformance with the California Education Code mandate and the Board of Education rules, which require that each and every public school facility be made available as a civic center to members of the community for supervised not-for-profit recreational activities, meetings and public discussions, when regular school activities are not disrupted.
