Attention: Community Users of Seattle Public School Facilities
As you may be aware, Seattle Public Schools requires insurance for use of its facilities by other than Seattle Public Schools staff and events.  Proof of insurance is required to register to use facilities in the Community Use section of the Building Rental User Profile. If your group does not have its own liability insurance policy that meets Seattle Public Schools' requirements, you may purchase coverage for your event(s) through a program called the Tenant Users Liability Insurance Program (TULIP). For more information on this program, find out HERE.
