2. The "Application for Use of District Facilities" should be submitted at least (10) business days prior to the event, and may be approved or denied based on the following guidelines:

a. Requests involving personal gain (any fee beyond that necessary to recover expenses) or high risk shall be referred to the superintendent or his/her designee for a decision on the matter. All fees for these special uses (rental, custodial, hazard security, etc.) must be paid in advance.
