Joint Use Agreement 1: Unlocking the Gates Playing Smart changelabsolutions.org | kaboom.org 82 Allowing Public Access to Outdoor School Facilities During Non-School Hours Joint Use Agreement 1 is the simplest of the model joint use agreements. It is an agreement between the school district and the local city, town, or county government (referred to generically as “City”), in which the school district agrees to allow the local government to open for community use designated school district outdoor recreation facilities, such as playgrounds, blacktop areas, and playing fields during time, such as weekends and holidays, when the district is not using the facilities. To implement an effective agreement, the parties must designate the specific recreation facilities to be opened to use and address access, security, maintenance, custodial services, and repairs or restitution. In addition, the agreement should contain a procedure for resolving disputes and an allocation of costs, risks and insurance. The model agreement provides comments explaining the different provisions in the agreement. The language in the agreement written in italics provides different options or explains the type of information that needs to be inserted in the blank spaces in the agreement.
