Florida Statutes Title XLVIII. K-20 Education Code § 1013.101. Shared use agreements

(1) Legislative findings and intent.--The Legislature finds that greater public access to recreation and sports facilities is needed to reduce the impact of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases on personal health and health care expenditures. Public schools are equipped with taxpayer-funded indoor and outdoor recreation facilities that offer easily accessible opportunities for physical activity for residents of the community. The Legislature also finds that it is the policy of the state for district school boards to allow the shared use of school buildings and property by adopting policies allowing for shared use and implementing shared use agreements with local governmental entities and nonprofit organizations. The Legislature intends to increase the number of school districts that open their playground facilities to community use outside of school hours.

(2) Definitions.--As used in this section, the term:

(3) Promotion of community use of shared facilities.--The department shall provide technical assistance to school districts, including, but not limited to, individualized assistance, the creation of a shared use technical assistance toolkit containing useful information for school districts, and the development of a publicly accessible online database of shared use resources and existing shared use agreements.
