Reserving a Facility
Reserving a Facility
Los Altos School District facilities exist primarily for the instruction and benefit of district students. However, when the facilities are not needed for District purposes, the district recognizes its obligation to make its facilities available for public use and encourages the use of school buildings and grounds by the community for educational, recreational, civic, and cultural activities to the extent possible under the law. In doing so, it is the district’s intent to first serve the youth of our community.
