General

Can I get internet access?

Yes. Guest wireless internet access is available at all BSD school facilities after school and weekends only. During summer it is all day every day except at those schools where summer-school is being held. In that case the former applies.

Can I put up signs advertising my event prior to the event?

No advanced advertising is allowed for non-school events. Signage is allowed on the day of the event and must be removed upon departure.

Can I have an inflatable bounce house/room or jump & slide at my event?

No. Our insurance policy does not allow equipment use of these types.

If it snows of if schools close early, will my event be allowed to go on?

If schools have a delayed start, events will continue. If schools close early, all events for that day are canceled. If the District closes schools on a Friday due to inclement winter weather, all events for that night and the following weekend are canceled. This includes all school and community events.
