Facility Use

The Greater Johnstown School District makes facilities available for use by community groups.

Applicants for use of the GJSD facilities and their representatives must adhere to all parking regulations on all campuses. Failure to do so may result in denial of access and use of facilities.

Youth sports programs and youth camps requesting use of District facilities, including gymnasiums, fields and other spaces, must affirm that the group/organization is in compliance with NYS Laws and Regulations, and NYS Public Health Law 3000 (F)(B). In addition, it is further understood that the District is not responsible for providing AEDs or any emergency response equipment for community members and organizations that use the District’s facilities. The group/organization requesting facilities usage must affirm that the group has adequate AED devices and emergency response equipment, and staff are appropriately trained in their use when submitting an ML request form.

City of Johnstown Vendor Permits

Vendors may need to apply for a City of Johnstown permit to conduct certain events on Greater Johnstown School District premises. Currently, concession stands, fundraisers, and book fairs do not require a permit. However, events such as Craft Fairs at any school building and fireworks at Knox Field do require a City of Johnstown permit.

• More information regarding vendor permits is available on the City of Johnstown website.
• City of Johnstown permit applications may also be accessed on the City of Johnstown website.

Capital Improvement Project

Just like a home, school facilities need regular attention and upkeep to continue to operate year after year as originally intended. Learn more about the district’s efforts to improve our school facilities for students, staff and visitors on the Capital Improvement Projects page.
