Group Classifications and Rental Fees

Student Groups
One or more students participating in District-sponsored curricular or extracurricular activities supervised by District personnel.
- Athletics

- PTA-sponsored 3rd party organizations that provide after-school enrichment experiences for students. (Requests for this group are managed by the sponsoring PTA - 3rd party organization must provide proof of liability insurance)
Fees
Student groups may use school facilities on no-charge basis if they agree to meet in the most cost-efficient space available and if they agree to meet during regular custodial working hours, Monday through Friday.
If the activity is scheduled on a weekend, a vacation period or at a time during which no regularly scheduled custodians, the student group will be assessed any incremental custodial and maintenance costs.
Non-Curricular Education Groups

Proof of liability insurance naming Northville Public Schools as additional insured is required to be on file for all scouting groups.
Fees
Non-curricular Education groups may use school facilities on a no-charge basis if their meetings are scheduled Monday through Friday and if they are concluded by 9:00pm. Groups requesting the use of school facilities after these days and times will be assessed any incremental custodial and maintenance costs.
Non-Student Groups
All Non-Student groups must demonstrate that at least 51% of their event participants are Northville Public School district residents.
