Local non-profit and/or civic organizations may rent school buildings for educational, cultural, civic, social, recreational, governmental, and non-partisan political activities. (Policy KF/KF-R)

PLEASE NOTE: Spaces previously known as Community Centers no longer operate in the same manner. During the school day, students are utilizing those spaces and they are not available for rental or community use.  After school (2:45-6:30pm), those spaces are used for structured care offered through the Community Learning Centers.  Community use may be requested at 6:30pm on school days.  No events by youth-serving organizations may be scheduled on Wednesday evenings.  An ongoing agreement with the City of Sioux Falls allows Adult Recreational Leagues to operate in the gyms at Anne Sullivan, Garfield, Harvey Dunn, Hawthorne, and Oscar Howe from 6:30-10pm Monday through Friday October through April and for eight (8) tournaments on weekends.
