Ritenour Auditorium Rental Process
While the buildings, grounds, and facilities of the Ritenour School District are primarily to benefit and serve the educational needs of the District’s students, they are also a community resource. As a result, the District provides for the short-term or temporary use of the District buildings, grounds and facilities by individuals, groups, and organizations when such use is of a lawful purpose and does not conflict or interfere with the District’s programs, operations, or activities. Fees are charged for the use of facilities so that district funds intended for the education of children are not used to support other activities.
Rules of Use: Please download the Rules of Use document at the bottom of this page when considering the use of school facilities. There are policies and regulations that you need to be aware of and be willing to honor.
