Facility Use Approval, Costs and Cancellations

Where, in the judgment of the district, the requested use of district facilities requires special equipment or supervision, the district reserves the right to deny such use, or in the alternative, to condition such use upon the applicant’s payment of additional fees.

Only authorized personnel shall operate district equipment.

Final approval will be given and cost estimate mailed after all required documentation is received (application for use of school facilities and certificate of insurance).

A 50 percent deposit is required to reserve the facilities.

If any equipment is damaged or broken, it is the responsibility of the lessee to have it repaired or replaced at full value.

A final invoice will be sent after each event which may vary from the estimate based on actual hours used.

Notice of cancellation must be provided within 24 hours or the requestor will be responsible for all fees.

School facilities may not be used for personal/financial gain or for fundraisers for individuals.

If a request to use a building is made outside the posted building hours, the applicant must pay for all costs. No building in the district will remain open past 9:30 p.m. for an external facility use event.

Water Testing

According to New York state law, school districts are required every five years to complete a round of lead testing of water outlets used for drinking and cooking, unless the state Commissioner of Health requires testing sooner.

Initial testing took place in 2016 when New York state became the first in the nation to require schools to test water for lead. The most recent requirement is for districts to collect water samples between Jan. 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021. 

The law requires school districts to sample all water outlets currently or potentially used for drinking or cooking purposes in buildings that may be occupied by students and to submit those samples to a state approved lab for analysis. The state established an action level of 15 micrograms of lead per liter, typically referred to as “parts per billion (ppb).”

If a sample from a water outlet exceeds this level, schools must take steps to prevent the use of the outlet for drinking or cooking purposes until it is remediated and follow-up testing confirms it is no longer above the action level.

The following information summarizes the results of F-M’s water testing and its remediation plans.

Individual lab reports are available upon request by calling 315-692-1254.
