A lot is going on here at CUPF and May 1 is a critical date for many
community use groups to submit reservation requests. Please take a look at some
CUPF highlights below regarding use of Montgomery County Public School
facilities.
General reservation requests for use of indoor school
facilities during Summer 2017 will be accepted online beginning May 1, 2017. Requests must
be submitted via www.ActiveMONTGOMERY.org.
The priority submission window for large
events opens on May 1 and closes on May 15, for dates of use during the 2017-2018
MCPS school year. All applications submitted during this timeframe will be
considered as having been received on May 15.
The term “large event” applies to any
event requesting:
a) to have an expected attendance of 500 or more persons, or b) use of a school auditorium, regardless of attendance expected, or c) use of athletic facilities including gymnasium, stadium, track or field use for tournaments, fundraisers, track meets or other similar events, regardless of attendance expected, or d) advanced booking due to size, scope or nature, or e) significant set-up, or f) extensive audio-visual equipment or services, or g) an amount of space or hours of use that requires multiple support staff.
Applicants
must set an appointment to meet with Ms. Carrie King in order to submit an
application in-person. Please email Ms. King at carrie.king@montgomerycountymd.gov to arrange a time to meet and submit your application and any other
related information.
Submission dates for the entire 2017-2018
school year use of MCPS indoor facilities have changed from last year. Changes are necessary
in order to accommodate the new State mandate designating the first day of
school be after Labor Day. There will no longer be two separate submission
dates for indoor use during the school year. We have combined them into one
single process. Please read carefully to avoid missing out on the earliest
possible opportunity to reserve space in school facilities next school year.
General
reservation requests of indoor
school facilities, including before and after-school enrichment programs,
evening use, weekend use, etc. for the 2017-2018
school year will be accepted online via the customer e-portal beginning
August 15, 2017, at 8:30 a.m.
The above date does NOT apply to the following: MCPS administrative
use of school facilities, licensed before and after-school childcare (other
than extra gym space or evening activities), PTA/ PTSA submissions, government
offices, or approved high-volume use permits.
If you
have questions about this change, please email our office at cupf@montgomerycountymd.gov or call customer
service at 240-777-2725.

The FUSP subsidizes
facility fees for use of school classrooms, all-purpose rooms/cafeterias,
library meeting rooms, the Clarksburg Cottage meeting room, and the District 3
Police Station meeting room. The activity/program must be sponsored by a
Maryland-based, non-profit 501(C)(3) organization that primarily serves
vulnerable youth or low-income residents receiving financial assistance.
Applications
for FY17 (July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018) are still being accepted. More information,
including how to apply can be found at: http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/CUPF/info-other/Subsidy.html
