Extended Use Application example filled out, example: a youth club applies for a school permit
Jane Sample of a youth club applies for an Extended Use permit. The club meets on 8 Tuesdays and will sell snacks at its meetings. The picture shows page 2 of the filled form and all its values are invented. The club has liability insurance, so Yes is marked for Liability Insurance. Eight Tuesdays from 04/07/2026 to 05/26/2026 set the Permit Period. Anticipated Attendance is 25 because the club has 25 members. Permit Number is left blank because the Extended Use System generates it after approval. Nothing goes in Swimming Pool, Shop Rooms, Home Eco Rooms, Admission Fee, NYPDSSD Coverage, Stage Scenery, School Personnel Required or Donations because the club needs none of them. Space Usage, Special Services, VI. Custodian's Confirmation of Availability of Space and VII. Principal's Authorization are on page 3, so they stay empty.

Extended Use Form PDF Details

Navigating the complexities of securing a permit for the extended use of school buildings in New York City can seem daunting, yet understanding the Extended Use Form is essential for any organization or individual seeking to make use of these public spaces for events or activities. This comprehensive form not only requires applicants to provide detailed information about their organization and the nature of the event but also mandates familiarity with, and adherence to, the rules and regulations outlined in Chancellor’s Regulation D-180. Whether planning a community gathering, a recreational activity, or an educational session, applicants must navigate a host of restrictions prohibiting personal events, commercial activities not aligned with flea markets, gambling, and political events, to name a few. Furthermore, the form delves into necessary precautions and responsibilities such as ensuring public access, disclaiming DOE sponsorship, arranging adequate security, and securing liability insurance, while explicitly forbidding activities that could mar the safety and integrity of school premises. In essence, this form is not just a procedural hurdle but a critical instrument in safeguarding the dual priorities of serving the Department of Education’s (DOE) programs and opening doors to beneficial community engagements, all the while maintaining a respectful and safe environment within New York City’s school buildings.
