Fulton County Schools encourages the use of school facilities by the local
community for social, recreational, cultural, civic and educational purposes and
activities. The school facilities serve as a healthy and safe environment for use
both before and after school and during the weekends and summer that engage
children, parents and the entire community.
2 FacilityUseWebsite
Fulton County Schools has created a new website designed to help renting an FCS
Facility easier. This page will include everything you need to know, and provide,
before requesting any facility use. Go to the Fulton County Schools website and
Quick Links  School System Links  Facilities Rental
Or you can go directly to the calendar using this link:
https://www.communityuse.com/default.asp?acctnum=961739255 This calendar will only display events that have gone through the complete
approval process. (See Appendix for full approval process)
NOTE: This calendar will not include all school events and activities. Some
facilities that appear to be available may not always be available for use.
3 RegistrationProcess
In the right hand column, you will find a link to view the “School Community
Calendar”. You will use this link to view the calendar and to login to submit your
requests. Click this link to access the calendar and begin the registration process.
In the upper Right-hand corner will be a link to “Log In to Request Facility Use.”
Click her to begin the registration process.
OEC: Registering Your Organization 1 Now you will be asked to login. If you do not have a login, you can create one and
register as an Organization Event Coordinator (OEC). An OEC can submit
requests for their respective Organization(s)
Start by clicking on “Create One” to create an account and register your
Organization for Facility Use.
The first page will ask you to read and agree to The Rules and Regulations for
Facility Use. Once you have read them, check the box indicating that you “have
read and agree to abide by the terms and conditions stated above.” Now click on
“Agree and Register” to continue the process.
Note: The “Agree and Register” button will not be available until you have
checked the box indicating that you have read, and agree, to the terms and
conditions.
OEC: Registering Your Organization 2 Now populate the Personal Profile page by entering your contact information. All
fields on this page will be required accept for the Cell Phone. Enter your full name,
email address, day time phone number, and your address.
Once you have finished entering this information, create a password for your
account. All passwords must contain at least six characters and can be made up of
any combination of letter, numbers, and/or symbols. Passwords are not required to
include any capital letters and are not case sensitive. Click “Save & Next” to
continue your registration.
Now enter the information about your Organization. The “Organization Type”
should be “Other” unless the organization is a documented Not For Profit {IRS
501(c) Tax Exempt or registered Non-Profit with the Georgia Secretary of State}
and the planned use of the facilities is to provide programs solely for high school
aged or younger youth. If you are a Non-Profit that plans to use facilities for some
programs that are solely for youth and some that include adults(e.g., church that
uses facilities for church services and for a youth sports program) the youth
program would need to be registered as a separate organization to qualify for the
Not For Profit Youth Program rates. Once you have filled in the required
