Operations & Facilities

The Operations & Facilities Department is responsible for the physical management of schools and buildings in USD 261. Our goal is to maintain and improve all district facility buildings and grounds in a manner that positively contributes to the learning experience of each student by providing a safe, clean, sustainable, and healthy environment.
Facility Request Guidelines
Any employee, person, persons, or outside organization desiring to use the buildings or grounds must submit for approval an electronic facility use request (see below) and agree to the guidelines for the use of district facilities as outlined by the USD 261 Board Policy KG no less than fourteen (14) days in advance of the intended use. Please review the above document for the fees associated with the different venues. Reservations for next school year will not be accepted until August 1st of that year. A certificate of insurance will be required to provide adequate proof of liability insurance before a request is approved.
If you have questions regarding the availability of spaces, please reach out to that facility directly.
