The Fayetteville-Manlius School District buildings are valuable community assets and many civic and community groups use them for meetings and events. In order to request the use of a school facility or field, an organization must be a Fayetteville or Manlius-based organization.

Facility Use Approval, Costs and Cancellations

Where, in the judgment of the district, the requested use of district facilities requires special equipment or supervision, the district reserves the right to deny such use, or in the alternative, to condition such use upon the applicant’s payment of additional fees.

Only authorized personnel shall operate district equipment.

Final approval will be given and cost estimate mailed after all required documentation is received (application for use of school facilities and certificate of insurance).

A 50 percent deposit is required to reserve the facilities.

If any equipment is damaged or broken, it is the responsibility of the lessee to have it repaired or replaced at full value.

A final invoice will be sent after each event which may vary from the estimate based on actual hours used.

Notice of cancellation must be provided within 24 hours or the requestor will be responsible for all fees.

School facilities may not be used for personal/financial gain or for fundraisers for individuals.

If a request to use a building is made outside the posted building hours, the applicant must pay for all costs. No building in the district will remain open past 9:30 p.m. for an external facility use event.
