COMMUNITY RELATIONS 4225

Equipment Usage

The District athletic equipment will not be loaned out except under the provisions in the last paragraph of this

policy.

For liability reasons, use of school equipment by any group or individual, other than for school sponsored events, is

discouraged. In all cases where equipment is used by non-school groups, a liability release will be required. The

borrower must also comply with cleaning and disinfection protocol provided by the school.

Use of equipment will not be available to non-school groups. Equipment such as pitching machines, catcher’s gear,

shoulder pads, helmets, weight room equipment, blocking dummies and sleds, and high jump equipment and mats,

meet hurdles, starting blocks, and wrestling mats are available for use by school district classes and athletic teams

only. This does not include Freestyle Wrestling’s use of the mats.

Different pieces of equipment such as practice hurdles, etc. may be used by district athletes for practice during

non-scheduled practice times. These must be checked out through the athletic director and a waiver must be

signed releasing the District of any liability. All equipment that is checked out must be thoroughly disinfected and

cleaned prior to returning to the athletic director. The athletic director will provide the user with a copy of the

District’s disinfection and cleaning procedure.
