Facility Use

Community Use of Channahon School District 17 Facilities


 The Channahon School District 17 Board of Education subscribes to the notion that the public schools are owned and operated by and for its community. To this end, the Board of Education encourages the public use of school facilities. Authorization for the use of school facilities shall not be considered as an endorsement of or as approval of the activity, group, or organization nor the purposes they represent.

Community groups or individuals who want to use district facilities must submit their requests to the building principal of the facility being requested or the school superintendent. Access to the district facilities (Pioneer Path, N.B. Galloway, Three Rivers School and Channahon Junior High School) is prioritized as follows:

  • First Priority Use: Channahon School District 17 activities.
  • Second Priority Use: Activities sponsored by recognized organizations/groups that support or augment the School District’s instructional, athletic or extracurricular programs (Athletic Boosters, Band Parents, P.T.O.)
  • Third Priority Use: Programs offered/supervised by the Channahon Park District.
  • Fourth Priority Use: In-district non-profit groups, such as community groups, youth organizations, religious organizations and/or social organizations (e.g., Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Helping Hands, Channahon Baseball, Channooka Braves, local governmental agencies, churches)
  • Fifth Priority Use: In-district profit groups, such as private agencies, companies, vendors or businesses.
  • Sixth Priority Use: Any out of district groups.
